[Trent Horn's](https://www.catholic.com/audio/cot/a-neglected-argument-against-sola-scriptura) quote > Modern scholars even doubt that they consider the New Testament a divinely inspired authority at all, much less a part of the only infallible rule of faith. Here’s some of those quotes, you might recognize them, I’ll share them in the debate. Michael Krueger, who shares a lot of views with Gavin, he tries to defend a model of the canon that will affirm sola scriptura. But he admits, for many modern scholars the key time is the end of the second century. Only then, largely due to the influence of Irenaeus, were these books first regarded as scripture. **The New Testament scholar, Gordon Fee, says the term scripture meant only the Old Testament for Christians until the end of the second century.** Can you find the reference of Fee's book and some similar quotes about early Christians reference of "scripture" basically to mean the OT?
