    • Septuagint

    • Sola Scriptura

This means that scripture is considered the final and highest source of authority, surpassing any other human traditions or interpretations. This concept is often associated with Protestant Christianity, as it was one of the key principles of the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century. The term Sola Scriptura is derived from Latin, meaning "scripture alone." It emphasizes the importance of relying solely on the Bible as the ultimate guide for Christian beliefs and practices.

    John Huss died by being burned at the stake. This form of execution was a common method used during the medieval period for individuals who were deemed heretics or went against the teachings of the Catholic Church. Huss, a Czech priest and religious reformer, was accused of heresy and his teachings were seen as a threat to the authority of the Church. As a result, he was arrested, tried, and ultimately sentenced to death by burning. This event took place in 1415 during the Council of Constance.
