R.C. Sproul was truly a great teacher, and he was truly unique in ways far beyond his obvious gifting.
It was Sproul who first introduced me to classical apologetics and philosophy.
He also gave me the first glimmers of understanding in how to reach across our great doctrinal divides with more grace and compassion, and how to achieve this while still remaining firm in our faith and convictions.
Thanks to his prolific life's work, we can enjoy the continual blessing of his teaching and wisdom for many years to come.
This is a blessing for which I'm deeply thankful.
May we all be men and women who finish our course so well.
