Summary: They brought in the best from everywhere
Review: This book was a compilation of essays in honor of R C Sproul. In doing so, they brought in the most articulate Reformed scholars around. For those who want to know a little more about Dr Sproul's life, there are a few brief bio's in the book which are interesting to read.The set up of the book is the five points of TULIP interspered with the historic Solas of the Reformed faith. The best chapter was easily the one on Sola Fide by Sinclair Ferguson. I have read many popular level introduction of Faith Alone by many good scholars, Sproul included, but this is clearly the best. A quote in distinguishing great and little faith, "These different degrees of faith have in view the extent to which we respond to God in a manner commensurate with the greatness and trustworthiness of his promise." That is only a sample of the erudite, yet understandable nature of the book. Other good chapters are Mike Horton, "Sola Gratia," and John Macarthur, "Solus Christus." The Book is highly readable (I read mine in 24 hours) and yet very scholarly. By all means take up and read!
