About the Author

R.C. Sproul

R.C. Sproul was an American Reformed theologian and ordained pastor in the Presbyterian Church in America. Known for his remarkable ability to effectively communicate deep, practical truths from the Bible, Sproul left an enduring legacy in theology. R.C.’s impact was evident through his diverse roles and accomplishments. He founded Ligonier Ministries, a renowned organization named after the Ligonier Valley near Pittsburgh, where it originated as a study center for college and seminary students.

Beyond his ministries, Sproul's influence extended through various platforms. He could be heard daily on the Renewing Your Mind radio broadcast, captivating audiences not only in the United States but also internationally.

R.C. Sproul’s contributions earned him the reputation as "the greatest and most influential proponent of the recovery of Reformed theology in the last century."
