“Of all the adjectives that can and should be used to describe his life and ministry, the one that most comes to my mind is faithful. He began his ministry committed to Christ and the Bible as well as to the value of a thorough knowledge of theology and a vigorous intellectual defense of the faith.”

“R.C. was never afraid of or shrank from the fray. He fought well, and his faith conquered. Now he beholds the Lord in His glory and is fully like Him. We do not begrudge our friend the fulfilment of his heart’s desire to behold the Holy One.”

Sinclair B. Ferguson

“Though he is no longer with us here on earth, he nevertheless continues to multiply himself through the lasting influence of his convictions and the counsel of his words. Long may the legacy of this extraordinary life live among us.”

Steven J. Lawson

“Here was a scholar-preacher, or preacher-scholar, touched with a gift for communication that exceeded the ordinary. More importantly, here was someone who understood what was central to the Scriptures and who desired to communicate it with passion.”

Derek W.H. Thomas

“It was easy to love R.C. Sproul. I am sure I owe him more than I can even recall. My reverence for the holiness of God and the truth of His Word would not be the same without R.C.’s influence.”

John Piper

“I want other disabled people to see that when God chooses them for the furnace, it’s a calling. It’s a privilege. I have R.C. to thank for that vision.”

Joni Eareckson Tada

“Today my friend, co-defender of the truth and theological giant is standing in the presence of our Lord whom he loved and served faithfully. R.C. Sproul has stood with me for decades in every major theological controversy and I will dearly miss him. There is no one like him.”

John MacArthur

“He was one of the great defenders of historic Christianity of our times. It is fair to say that R.C. was the greatest and most influential proponent of the recovery of Reformed theology in the last century.”

R. Albert Mohler Jr.

“Thousands of us in the Reformed resurgence of these days count R.C. Sproul as a revered father of the movement.”

John Piper

“In a time characterized by cynicism, indifference, and uncertainty, R.C. was a category 5 hurricane of declaration, persuasion, and instruction.”

J. Ligon Duncan

“R.C. was a friend, mentor, and co-laborer in the ministry of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He was like a father to me. I am grateful to God for calling R.C. to proclaim the truth of God, the gospel of God, and the grace of God in such a clear and beautiful way.”
