Uni Marie

UNI confronts one of the most foundational questions in Christianity: Who has the authority to define what is true? Beneath every doctrinal disagreement lies a deeper issue of structure. Is ultimate authority grounded in Scripture alone, or in apostolic continuity preserved through the Church? This book examines that divide carefully and systematically. Drawing from canon formation history, the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD), the development of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon, and the Protestant principle of Sola Scriptura, UNI analyzes how authority is established, justified, and defended. It explores the philosophical challenge of circular reasoning in ultimate claims and compares how text-centered and institution-centered systems attempt to resolve it. Rather than offering slogans, UNI provides architecture. It asks readers to examine the foundations beneath their convictions: How do we know which books belong in Scripture? What makes a council binding? Can institutions correct themselves? Can interpretation remain stable without centralized authority? This is not a work of polemics. It is an examination of structure. Whether rooted in Protestant traditions, apostolic communions, or still forming a position, readers are invited to think more deeply about how Christianity determines truth.
