R.C. Sproul

Robert Charles Sproul, born 1939 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a Reformed theologian and pastor. He is the founder and president of Ligonier Ministries -- named after the Ligonier Valley just outside of Pittsburgh, where the ministry started as a study center for college and seminary students. Ligonier's Renewing Your Mind radio program is broadcast daily in the United States and 60 countries. Ligonier also hosts several theological conferences each year, including the main annual conference in Orlando, Florida, at which Sproul is one of the primary speakers.

Sproul holds degrees from Westminster College, Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, the Free University of Amsterdam, and Whitefield Theological Seminary, and he has taught at numerous colleges and seminaries, including Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, Florida and Knox Theological Seminary in Ft. Lauderdale. Currently, he is Senior Minister of Preaching and Teaching at Saint Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, Florida.

Sproul has been an ardent advocate of Calvinism in his many books and audio and video publications, and he is also known for his advocacy of the Thomistic approach to Christian apologetics and his rejection of both evidentialism and presuppositionalism.

Publications

Sproul is a prolific author who has written more than 60 books and many articles for evangelical publications. He signed the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, which affirmed the traditional view of Biblical inerrancy, and he wrote a commentary on that document titled Explaining Inerrancy. He also served as the editor of the Reformation Study Bible (ISBN 0875526438), which has appeared in several editions and was also known as the New Geneva Study Bible.

Sproul's work The Holiness of God is considered a modern classic on the subject of God's character, and his book Not a Chance: The Myth of Chance in Modern Science and Cosmology was highly praised by those who reject the materialism advocated by some in the scientific community.[1]
