Truths We Confess - Volume 2

A Layman's Guide to the Westminster Confession of Faith: Salvation and the Christian Life

2006

"Christianity is a religion with content," R. C. Sproul affirms in the preface to this work. "Its truths are central to the life and practice of the church." He adds, "It is necessary in every generation for the church to clarify its beliefs against constant attacks and distortions of her body of truth." Few evangelical leaders in recent decades have contributed as much to our understanding of scriptural truth as has Dr. Sproul. "For almost a biblical generation, the ministry of R. C. Sproul has been transforming the convictions of evangelicals," wrote Edmund Clowney, who described him as "a morning star of a new reformation." In keeping with his conviction that theology belongs to everyone, Sproul has written this highly readable commentary on the Westminster Confession of Faith. Each of the three volumes of this commentary includes the portions of the confession being discussed, chapter by chapter and section by section. Key confessional phrases are also highlighted in bold as Sproul explains their significance for our faith and practice. This second volume (of three), covering chapters 9-22 of the confession, explains the doctrines of free will, effectual calling, justification, adoption, sanctification, faith, repentance, good works, perseverance, assurance, God's law, Christian liberty, the sabbath, and oaths. Every discussion is geared toward bringing us to a deeper knowledge of and greater love for the doctrines of grace set forth in God's Word.

He was founding pastor of Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, Fla., first president of Reformation Bible College, and executive editor of Tabletalk magazine. Ligonier Ministries began in 1971 as the Ligonier Valley Study Center in Ligonier, Pa. In an effort to respond more effectively to the growing demand for Dr. Sproul’s teachings and the ministry’s other educational resources, the general offices were moved to Orlando in 1984, and the ministry was renamed. Dr. Sproul’s radio program, Renewing Your Mind, is still broadcast daily on hundreds of radio stations around the world and can also be heard online. Dr. Sproul produced hundreds of lecture series and recorded numerous video series on subjects such as the history of philosophy, theology, Bible study, apologetics, and Christian living. He contributed dozens of articles to national evangelical publications, spoke at conferences, churches, and academic institutions around the world, and wrote more than one hundred books, including The Holiness of God, Chosen by God, and Everyone’s a Theologian. He signed the 1978 Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy and wrote a commentary on that document. He also served as general editor of the Reformation Study Bible, previously known as the New Geneva Study Bible. Dr. Sproul had a distinguished academic teaching career at various colleges and seminaries, including Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando and Jackson, Miss. He was ordained as a teaching elder in the Presbyterian Church in America.
