Sproul expounds the book of Romans Theological framework for the Christian faith

This compact book outlines the controversies and implications of the central debate of the Reformation: justification by faith alone. Luther said that the doctrine of justification by faith alone is "the article upon which the church stands or falls." R.C. Sproul follows Luther''s lead in his concise and compelling work, now repackaged and republished. Justified by Faith Alone surveys the main tenets of the doctrine of justification in Roman Catholicism and evangelicalism. Sproul is careful to accurately represent Catholic beliefs and observes that while both traditions agree that fa.

Sproul''s sermons at St. Andrew''s Chapel are the foundation of these never-before-published expositions on Paul''s epistle to the Romans. Chrysostom had it read aloud to him once a week. Augustine, Luther, and Wesley all came to assured faith through its impact. The Reformers saw it as the God-given key to understanding the whole of Scripture. Throughout church history the study of the book of Romans has been pivotal to understanding Christian life and doctrine. Convinced that "Paul''s fullest, grandest, most comprehensive statement of the gospel" is just as vital today, R. C. Sproul delivered nearly sixty sermons on Romans from October 2005 to April 2007 at St. Andrew''s Chapel, where he has pastored for more than a decade.

"The minister gently guided my mother away from the grave to a waiting car. I moved behind them in a grim stupor. I was confused. I was hurt. I was angry. One question pierced my soul...''Who are you, God? And why do you do the things you do?''" Thus began R. C. Sproul''s search for ultimate truth and a personal encounter with the living God. In Discovering the God Who Is, readers will journey with Sproul to discover for themselves the magnificence of God''s character and being, his power and personality. Sproul asks the questions many of us wonder about God: Is the Bible the Word of God? What is righteousness? What is the difference between a moral and a legal right? How does God create something from nothing? Does God change his mind? Sproul communicates deep truths in a fresh and easy-to-understand style. Join R. C. Sproul as he shares his passion for God and excites the reader to dig deep and know the God who is alive, who is real, who relates to each one of us in our lives.

A key figure during the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards wrote this important discourse, The Distinguishing Marks of a Work of the Spirit of God, in 1741, just after the revival had reached its peak. In his thorough exploration of the true and false signs of revival, drawn from 1 John 4, Edwards concludes that while a movement may be accompanied by excesses and questionable actions, these signs do not necessarily disqualify it as authentic. In a refreshing way Edwards embraces a genuine enthusiasm in these manifestations while stressing the need for biblical discernment. His critique is kind and gentle as he points to the true marks of revival: love and humility. In The Spirit of Revival, Parrish makes Edwards''s entire work more accessible by modernizing the text and adding explanatory notes. R. C. Sproul''s extended introduction compares the great theologian''s time to our own, and the preface by Edwards''s contemporary William Cooper rings resoundingly to the people of God today. Edwards''s message provides more than just insight into the Great Awakening. It is a map to follow for all revivals in all times.
