Lutheranism isn't a sola scriptura faith. While Luther did often argue against Rome on biblical grounds, Lutheranism has always accepted a vague concept of "tradition" alongside Scripture just like Anglicanism or Orthodoxy.
- danjc 9y agoI'm not deeply familiar with Lutheranism but this [1] seems to contradict what you're suggesting. Also, sola scriptura doesn't negate creeds & confessions, etc but rather affirms the supreme authority of scripture. This is in contrast to Roman Catholicism which affirms tradition as of higher authority.
