R.C. Sproul

Had you met R.C. Sproul as a kid, you might have expected him to become a professional baseball player. R.C. grew up in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, under those who served in World War II ("The Greatest Generation”). R.C. possessed charm, good character, a fine work ethic, and was full of competitive spirit on the sports field.

God had far more in store for R.C. than anyone might have imagined. During college, some football players opened the Bible with R.C., and afterwards, R.C. gave his life to Jesus. Little did he know that he would be the one to open the Bible for thousands, helping many people understand the truth of God’s Word. In fact, in his lifetime R.C. received three honorary doctorates.

R.C. and his elementary school sweetheart, Vesta, began God's work for them together right after college. In his lifetime, R.C. founded a school, as well as a teaching center. He also laid the foundation for many people to understand what we call “Reformed Theology.” That’s a fancy way of summarizing the truths that Scripture is our only ultimate authority, and salvation is by grace alone, by faith alone, through Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.

We want you to meet R.C. Sproul because we believe that his work will help you see the truth of the Bible clearly. His jovial, kind, and courageous spirit is a wonderful reflection of the character of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Of any author we introduce you to, R.C. has had the biggest impact on our team here at Bibles.net.
