The issue of faith is not so much whether we should believe in God, but whether we really believe the God in whom we believe.

R.C. Sproul

R.C. Sproul (1939–2017) war ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Theologe, Pastor und Autor, der über das von ihm gegründete Lehrwerk Ligonier Ministries in Florida wirkte. Er profilierte sich als prominenter Vertreter des Calvinismus, betonte die absolute Heiligkeit Gottes sowie die Irrtumslosigkeit der Schrift und lehnte theologische Annäherungen an den Katholizismus entschieden ab. Für Bibelleser bietet er einen verständlichen Zugang zu historisch-reformatorischer Dogmatik, stößt jedoch mit seiner kompromisslosen Erwählungslehre und seinem Cessationismus außerhalb konservativ-reformierter Kreise auf Kritik.
