== Kritik ==
Sesudah jemaat-jemaat Protestan memisahkan diri dari Gereja Katolik Roma, gagasan ''sola scriptura'', yang ketika itu masih merupakan suatu gagasan baru, mendapat kecaman sengit dari umat Kristen [[Katolik]] danmaupun [[Gereja Ortodoks|Ortodoks]].<!-- In his ''[[The Shape of Sola Scriptura]]'' (2001), the [[Reformed Christian]] writer [[Keith A. Mathison]] mentions several recent examples of such critics.{{efn|Namely, Mathison cited Robert A. Sungenis, author of ''Not by Scripture Alone: A Catholic Critique of the Protestant Doctrine of Sola Scriptura'' (Santa Barbara: Queenship Publishing Co., 1997); Mark Shea, author of ''By What Authority?'' (Huntington, Indiana: Our Sunday Visitor, 1996); Clark Carlton, ''The Way: What Every Protestant Should Know About the Catholic Church'' (Salisbury, Massachusetts: Regina Orthodox Press, 1997); [[Patrick Madrid]] (editor), ''Surprised by Truth'' (San Diego: Basilica Press, 1994); [[Scott Hahn]] and Kimberley Hahn, ''Rome, Sweet Home'' (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1993); David Currie, ''Born Fundamentalist. Born Again Catholic'' (San Francisco: Ignatius Press, 1993); and Peter Gilquist (editor), ''Coming Home: Why Protestant Clergy Are Becoming Orthodox'' (Ben Lomond, California: Conciliar Press, 1992).{{sfn|Mathison|2001|p=13}}}} In response, Mathison distinguishes what he considers to be the true doctrine of ''sola scriptura'' from the "subjective and individualistic version" of the doctrine that most Protestants have adopted.{{sfn|Mathison|2001|pp=13–14}}
The American Roman Catholic author and television presenter [[Patrick Madrid]] wrote that ''sola scriptura'' is self-referentially incoherent, as the Bible itself does not teach ''sola scriptura'', and therefore the belief that the scriptures are the only source of Christian belief is self-contradicting given that it cannot be supported without extra-scriptural doctrine.{{sfn|Madrid|2012|pp=4–6}}
