How does Sola Scriptura relate to the Reformation?

Answered in 1 source

Sola Scriptura was a foundational principle of the Reformation that emphasized the authority of the Bible over church traditions.

During the Reformation, Sola Scriptura emerged as a fundamental principle that challenged the prevailing authority of the Church and its traditions. Reformers like Martin Luther and John Calvin argued that Scripture alone should guide church doctrine and practice, rather than human traditions or papal authority. This principle sparked a return to the plain teachings of the Bible, leading to the translation and dissemination of Scripture among laypeople. The Reformation sought to restore the biblical foundation of Christianity, making Sola Scriptura a rallying cry for those seeking to rediscover the gospel's simplicity and power.
