Endorsement:
"In a day of rampant theological confusion and compromise, R. C. Sproul provides a voice of conviction deeply rooted in biblical truth and the faithful heritage of the gospel. He makes clear what is at stake in current patterns of evangelical compromise--the gospel itself."
--Albert Mohler Jr., president, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
"R. C. Sproul and I share a number of common interests, none more precious to both of us than the doctrine of justification by faith alone. Sola fide (Latin for "faith alone") was the material principle of the Protestant Reformation. Today's evangelicals tend to be unversed in Scripture and ignorant of their own history, so they are generally ill-equipped to defend what they profess to believe. And the doctrine of justification has been subjected to relentless attacks on several fronts in recent decades. One of the most disturbing elements of this devastating theological downgrade is the fact that some of the chief culprits arguing against sola fide have been people who self-identify as Protestants. Dr. Sproul has probably done more than anyone in our generation to reconnect contemporary evangelicals with their own rich history. In particular, he has been courageously defending the doctrine of justification for several decades. This book distills the best of his teaching on that issue. It's an important defense of the gospel's cardinal principle in a clear and compelling format. I'm happy to give it my most enthusiastic recommendation."
--John MacArthur, author; speaker; pastor; president, The Masters College and Seminary
"For as long as R. C. Sproul has been involved in public ministry, he has stood firm against theological error while battling boldly for doctrinal truth. In Faith Alone he demonstrates the critical importance of affirming and protecting that great Reformation doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone. Always respectful toward others, he proceeds carefully, biblically, and with unrelenting force. This book remains as important and relevant today as when it was first published."

"R. C. Sproul has done a masterful job of reminding us of the true nature of the gospel."
--Jerry Bridges, The Navigators
