Why I am a Catholic Sola Scriptura Sola Scriptura and Unity Unity among Christians was clearly one of the chief concerns of Christ (John 17) and the Apostles (ex. 1 Cor. 1‚ 10; Eph. 4).

Even though many of the passages could refer to more than just one theology‚ it is achievable to separate the different theologies into the four categories. Regardless of how different the Gospel of John is to that of Mark‚ Matthew‚ and Luke
