R.C. Sproul: Defender of the Reformed Faith

by Nate Pickowicz, John F. MacArthur, Jr. (Foreword)

R.C. Defender of the Reformed Faith traces the five decades of R.C.’s public ministry, observing a thematic connection to the five solas of the Reformation. While much has already been written, with much more to come, this book takes a unique look at R.C. Sproul as doctrinal defender. In a cultural climate where doctrinal disagreements can easily descend into personal attacks and division, R.C. models the utmost care for doctrinal precision without sacrificing the love and grace needed to be kind to those with whom we disagree. Even after his passing, R.C. still has much to teach us about what it means to contend earnestly for the faith.

[Michael Burchfield · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent short summary of the life of R.C. Sproul - I recommend this biography. R.C. Sproul was a great man because he was great for the glory of God. Having read this, I am motivated to read, some day soon, Stephen Nichols longer biography of Sproul. I never realized what a prolific writer R.C. Sproul was until I read this little volume, because the main titles by any author that the general public learns about are those titles that are publicized the most. I am motivated now to read some of his lesser known works. Further, he taught or preached over 20k lessons or sermons in his life time - simply as he walked the course God laid out for him. His is an example younger pastor/elders can imitate - regardless of whether they have as broad an influence as Sproul had or not - and most of us do not. He was faithful where he was at any given time - and so should we be.

Must read

O biografie excepțională care a pus accent pe lucrarea lui RC Sproul. Sunt uimit de modul cum Dumnezeu a ridicat și a folosit un om pentru gloria Sa(teolog, apologet, pastor, autor de cărți creștine și cărți pentru copii și autor de imnuri creștine) și cum aceasta lucrare cu multiplele ramuri continua și în prezent.

I absolutely love R.C. He is my spiritual father and mentor in the faith though he never knew it. His life is so fascinating and encouraging to read about. The author does a great job expressing that!
