R.C. Sproul: Defender of the Reformed Faith
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
R.C.Sproul: 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.

.C. Sproul was a hugely popular personality and a faithful friend to many, as well as an extraordinarily gifted theologian and communicator. Nate Pickowicz has captured something of the heart of R.C.’s vision, energy, and exuberant joy in God and all things in relation to Him. I commend it most warmly.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Western Evangelicalism in the last half of the twentieth century has been the re-emergence of classical Calvinism as a major force in the Evangelical world. And if one were to enumerate the key factors in this restoration of the Reformed Faith to a position of intellectual and spiritual prominence, the life and ministry of R.C. Sproul demands inclusion. Nate Pickowicz’s biography of Dr. Sproul is therefore most welcome, for he captures the brilliance and passion of this lifelong advocate of Reformed life and thought. Highly recommended!
