"Rome's error was to identify truth so much with an institution that it became impervious to correction. Innovation and heresy were inevitable. But some Protestants viewed Sola Scriptura as a cart blanch for their own autonomous interpretations of Scripture. This also inevitably led to innovation. Jewel's way was to find the wise path: Scriptural authority, interpreted with the Communion of Saints... Biblical Christianity did not begin at the Reformation, and Jewel stands as a witness that the church Fathers are evangelical guides in the pursuit of Scriptural faith."
