R.C. Sproul (1939-2017)



My condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of R. C. Sproul, who passed away on December 14, 2017; he will be greatly missed. While I had my disagreements with his theology, I recognize him as a great theologian, possibly the best in his time; and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching, listening to, and reading (and occasionally responding to) his theological talks, sermons, conversations and writings, and learned a lot from them. A theologian does not always have to be right in order to be a good theologian. He wasn’t always right, but he was a great theologian all the same. I believe that his commitment to Jesus Christ was sincere and genuine, and he will receive a great reward in heaven.
