"Littorasie" and the Paradigm of "The Bible Only"
"Have you ever pondered that it would be a rather cruel and/or elitist God to give the all the authority of His church to a book in a time where 90% of the world were illiterate? . . .and where owning a book would cost you more than a year's wages?"

I would also add to this that for the first 360 years of the Church, the contents of that book (epistles and gospels) were not even clearly established. So if the Bible was the only source of truth and the handbook for Christian praxis and theology, how did they muddle along in the dark for almost 4 centuries spreading the faith like wildfire throughout the ancient world?
