Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages...

The Bible confirms that the human conscience is real and important, but it also shows that the conscience is not always a reliable guide to making moral choices, for it is twisted by sin. Therefore, a Christian conscience must be nurtured and developed. In this booklet, Dr. R. C. Sproul shows that this development involves learning...

In this Crucial Questions booklet, Dr. R.C. Sproul carefully explains the doctrine of the Trinity,...

Perhaps most often, it is used to mean belief in something apart from rational or empirical support. Because faith is central to the Christian life, believers must have a clear understanding of how the Bible defines the word and the concept. In this Crucial Questions booklet,...

Sproul clearly and simply argues that at its core Christianity is rational. He focuses on defending the basic truth claims for two...

How then can we, as sinners, be saved? This book delves into Scripture and church history to explore the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone, and in so doing, it points to Christ alone as our hope for salvation.
