SOLA SCRIPTURA began its life as a battle slogan more so than a doctrine. It is derived from a saying by Martin Luther, the famous Protestant reformer: Sola Scriptura, Sola Fide, Sola Christus. By Scripture alone, Faith alone, Christ alone. Sometimes two other solas are added, Sola Gratia ("grace") and Sola Deo Gloria ("glory of God"). The implication is not unlike the Muslim concept of Tawheed, or fundamental unity -- the life of faith not only does not but cannot contradict what has been revealed in the writings of Scripture. Though conservative Protestants often take this to mean that the Protestant reformers either did or would wholly endorse modern fundamentalist hermeneutics, acceptance of the slogan does not necessarily require textual literalism. Many liberal Christians accept sola scriptura as good theology, but consider the reading, interpretation, and reinterpretation of those Scriptures in light of modern challenges as a natural part of the relationship the church has with a Gospel and god that they consider to be "yet living, not dead" (ELCA Lutheran liturgy), and would advise the faithful to trust their relationship with Christ over possibly moribund teachings about the Bible as "God is still speaking" (slogan of the UCC). To put it another way, the same UCC uses a stylized comma as a denominational icon: a visual abbreviation of the proverb "Never place a period where God has left a comma,"
