This Charge Against Protestants Has To Stop — Here's Why
Canon & Creed

February 9, 2026
Protestants are often accused of breaking with the historic Church by inventing a new, overly “literal” way of reading the Bible, but is that charge actually true? In this video, we slow the claim down and examine whether the Reformers really abandoned the Church’s historic approach to Scripture, or whether they were clarifying something specific. By looking at how both the early and medieval Church read the Bible and how the Reformers understood their own project, we’ll test this claim that gets repeated constantly but is rarely examined carefully.
