Faith Alone | R. C. Sproul

R. C. Sproul. Faith Alone: The Evangelical Doctrine of Justification. Baker, 1999. 224 pp.

What can we add to God’s mercy to be saved? The Reformers broke with the Roman Church when they answered that Christians are justified by faith alone. But evangelicals no longer seem certain about that keystone of faith.

In Faith Alone, a Gold Medallion finalist and Evangelical Book Club main selection, R. C. Sproul discerns a softening of the doctrine of justification and explains why Christians must return to the biblical, Reformation view. He provides biblical evidence and theological reasons why Protestantism and Roman Catholicism divided in the first place, and why that division remains an uncrossed chasm.

Now in paperback, Faith Alone offers a clear explanation of classic Protestant teaching on salvation, helping readers understand why this teaching is so important.

Endorsements:

R. C. Sproul has done a masterful job of reminding us of the true nature of the gospel. Faith Alone is one of the most important books to be published in this decade. —Jerry Bridges, The Navigators Community Ministry Group

The evangelical church is in a perilous condition, even to the point of abandoning the gospel which brought it into being. In this timely and relevant book, R. C. Sproul recalls us to the true apostolic gospel, justification by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. —James M. Boice, pastor, Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia

In a day of rampant theological confusion and compromise, R. C. Sproul provides a voice of conviction deeply rooted in biblical truth and the faithful heritage of the gospel. He makes clear what is at stake in current patterns of evangelical compromise-the gospel itself. —R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

The doctrine of justification is at the heart of everything. When there’s an assault on the doctrine of salvation, we would expect Sproul to stand up on the front lines. As a stalwart, he has done just that in Faith Alone. With characteristic clarity he marshals historical and biblical defense against those who would undermind the foundation of orthodoxy and tolerate another gospel. —John Macarthur, president, The Master’s College and Seminary
