Early Modern Europe – 1450 to 1750
Sola Scriptura is a theological doctrine that emphasizes the Bible as the sole authority for Christian faith and practice.

By advocating that Scripture alone is sufficient for salvation and doctrine, it challenged the established ecclesiastical authority and empowered individuals to interpret the Bible for themselves.
