"Sola scriptura (Latin ablative, \"by Scripture alone\") is the Christian doctrine that the Bible is the supreme authority in all matters of doctrine and practice. Sola scriptura does not deny that other authorities govern Christian life and devotion, but sees them all as subordinate to and corrected by the written word of God.Sola scriptura is a formal principle of many Protestant Christian denominations, and one of the five solas."@en .
