Sola scriptura ( Latin ablative, " by scripture alone ") is the doctrine that the Bible contains all knowledge necessary for salvation and holiness.

Sola scriptura was a foundational doctrinal principle of the Protestant Reformation held by the Reformers and is a formal principle of Protestantism today ( see Five solas ).

Sola scriptura, however, does not ignore Christian history and tradition when seeking to understand the Bible.

Sola scriptura may be contrasted with prima scriptura, which holds that, besides canonical scripture, there are other guides for what a believer should believe, and how he or she should live.

Sola scriptura rejects any original infallible authority, other than the Bible.

Sola scriptura is a doctrine that is not, in the words of the Westminster Confession of Faith 1. 6 " expressly set down in scripture ".

Sola scriptura continues to be a doctrinal commitment of conservative branches and offshoots of the Lutheran churches, Reformed churches, and Baptist churches as well as other Protestants, especially where they describe themselves by the slogan " Bible-believing " ( See Fundamentalism ).
