About this audiobook

What must you do to be right with God? The Reformers broke with the Roman Catholic Church when they insisted people are justified by faith alone. But today many Protestants fail to grasp that keystone of faith. In Faith Alone, a Gold Medallion finalist, R. C. Sproul explains why Protestantism and Roman Catholicism split over justification in the first place and why that division remains an uncrossed chasm. Protestants must understand the biblical, Reformation view of the doctrine of justification to grasp the power of the gospel and proclaim it far and wide today. This repacked edition of a classic offers a new generation of Christians a clear explanation of the vital doctrine of salvation.

    Es un libro que aborda las diferencias doctrinales de una forma honesta y justa

    This book mirrors a lot like Norman Geisler's book "Defending Inerrancy". Here Sproul uses the attempt at Catholics and Evangelicals to come together under a banner of one common doctrine. From there, Sproul attempts to make the case that salvation is by Faith alone and goes so far as to say that that not only was that the foundation on which the Reformation was launched but it the foundation on which the whole true Church rests.

    Sproul does an amazing job of covering the subject. There is so much to the subject that I didn't realize went into the subject. Just breaking down what the Apostles meant when they talked about "faith" and the seven acts of faith it encompasses. Sproul also covers imputed righteousness (Evangelical) vs. infused righteousness (Catholic), merit and grace, and really good write up on faith and works especially a great breakdown of James 2.

    While this book is relatively short it is deceptive and here's where I must warn readers. The first quarter of this book is a quick reader. You get into the document of discussion and a short history of the Reformation on the topic. Once you get into chapter 4 you slam into a snails pace. The next three chapters are seminary level, high level doctrine work. What Sproul doesn't do that I wish he did was to have a definitions page. He also doesn't help to remind the reader about previous points made. Once he's moved on from the first definition it's rare he goes back and reminds readers about topics they are probably hearing for the first time. Another little annoyance is Sproul likes using the Latin because that's what the Reformers interacted with and sometimes made quips with. For things like Sola Fide and the like it's fine, but there are other phrases where, if you don't know the original source these injections of Latin already add to a jumble you're trying to work through.

    This is a much needed book to read especially by evangelicals today. But have a notebook ready to take notes and create your own definition cheat sheet. Sproul does a great job in this book comparing what Scripture says, what the Reformers said, and how it conflict's with Rome's doctrine. This book should be read so that the average Christian truly knows what they mean when they say are saved (justified) by grace through faith and not of works lest any man should boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Final Grace - B

    An excellent defense of the basis of the Protestant evangelical faith.
