Top Ten R.C. Sproul Lectures
from Robert Rothwell Sep 07, 2012 Category: Articles
One of the great joys of writing the daily studies for Tabletalk and performing various other editorial tasks is that I must regularly listen to the teaching series that Ligonier Ministries has produced. Recently, I was asked to list what I believe to be the top ten lectures from R.C. While others might disagree with what follows at certain points, this list represents what I have found to be the most important and useful messages that R.C. has ever delivered.

2011 Academy Conference - Session 6 - R.C. Sproul
from Robert Rothwell Jan 23, 2011 Category: Events
Dr. R.C. Sproul concluded our 2011 Ligonier Academy Conference with his message “Post Tenebras Lux.” What does this phrase mean and why is it important? Dr. Sproul explains thusly: Introduction I have appreciated the speakers that went before me today, and I particularly enjoyed Dr. Trueman’s emphasis on the doctrine of justification. Luther called it the doctrine upon which the church stands or falls. Calvin said it is the hinge on which everything turns. Keep Reading -
2011 Academy Conference - Session 5 - Carl Trueman
from Robert Rothwell Jan 23, 2011 Category: Events
On Saturday afternoon, Dr. Carl Trueman took the podium to explain the centrality of justification by faith alone. Here is what he had to say: Faith, as defined in classic Protestantism, is not what the wider culture today has in mind when it speaks of faith. I was speaking to someone recently who has a relative who goes to a rehabilitation group for help in recovering from an addiction. This person went to one of these meetings with her relative and, being a Christian, she wanted to talk about her faith in God But this was not allowed. The emphasis in the meeting was on faith, but just faith in general, not faith in a specific concept or person. This is evident throughout our society. Faith is seen as a virtue today, but generally people are not referring to faith in something. Instead, faith is seen a nebulous concept that all will turn out well or it is something that gets you through the day. For the Protestant Reformers, however, faith was something deeper.

from Robert Rothwell Dec 06, 2010 Category: Book Reviews
It is said that most religions of the world are religions of orthopraxy. That is, they are far more concerned with maintaining proper rituals and works than with the careful definition of what constitutes proper belief. In comparison, the historic Christian faith is far more concerned with orthodoxy, or right belief. Other faiths have simple creeds and elaborate ritual, but Biblical Christianity has an elaborate creed and simple ritual. Keep Reading -
What Is Reformation Day All About?
from Robert Rothwell Oct 31, 2010 Category: Articles
At the time, few would have suspected that the sound of a hammer striking the castle church door in Wittenberg, Germany, would soon be heard around the world and lead ultimately to the greatest transformation of Western society since the apostles first preached the Gospel throughout the Roman empire. Martin Luther’s nailing of his ninety-five theses to the church door on October 31, 1517, provoked a debate that culminated finally in what we now call the Protestant Reformation. Keep Reading
