Reformation Study Bible

Turn to the Word that turned the world upside down. In this 8-minute video, we learn from Dr. R.C. Sproul the importance of Scripture as the Protestant Reformation ignited Europe with the flame of truth.

[@danivarius]

I have a copy of the Reformation Study Bible, ESV edition. It was a gift from a friend when I joined a Presbyterian church in my area... I came into contact with reformed theology which revolutionised my understanding of God, His nature, sovereignty, and grace. I have never looked back!! This man and his teaching has been a source of instruction and knowledge for me. Thank you, R.C. and rest easy in His presence!

[@codyvandal2860]

Amen. The world only makes sense when we understand God's sovereignty and the doctrine of grace.

[@ofaoilleachain]

Reformed theology has brought so much light to the truth of the Scriptures, and has changes my life as a result. I love my condensed adition of the RSB, and will use it for years to come, in shepherding a future family, should the Lord will that, and even so far as helping other brothers and sisters in the Lord.

[@blackswan7568]

The Reformation Study Bible is a truly incredible piece of theological scholarship. Dr. Sproul was such a dear man, and one of the greatest voices for Christ of our time. I know that he is currently loving every moment with the LORD he spent so many years glorifying here on Earth.

[@Bearkiller777]

Thank you Dr. Sproul for your ministry in the Lord. your teaching has helped me in my walk with the Lord understand some of the things in the scriptures that were muddled/not clear for me. I still have much learning to do but through studying of the Word & applying it to my life I can get a better understanding of God's Word. Thank you and God Bless you

[@101vids2]

I have the New Geneva Study Bible NKJV and it's awesome! The notes really bring the Bible to life in a way I never thought possible! Get a study bible you won't regret it.

[@OneFaithMinistries]

Dr. Sproul, I want to personally thank you for standing up for the Gospel of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for providing me as a lay person with the resources to study and understand the scriptures better. I want to go to college to become a pastor and serve God and His people. It is people like yourself, along with Dr. Charles Stanley, Dr. David Jeremiah, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. John Piper, and many others who have guided me in my studies of God's Holy Word. God Bless You!

I would love to have seen R.C. Sproul do a side project video series where he sat in front of a fire and read aloud books like Sherlock Holmes and Charles Dickens.

[@Ericadbury]

He had His father's business to occupy himself with.

[@OneFaithMinistries]

Calvinism is not a "man-made doctrine" but is a theological camp focusing on the sovereignty of God. Dr. Stanley himself even says Calvinism is not heresy and I have the sermons from him to prove it. Dr. Sproul is a Presbyterian, which is a Calvinist denomination. Dr. Stanley is Southern Baptist, which is comprised of both Calvinists and people who are in between Calvinism and Arminianism.

[@eaglemount]

What are the titles of those sermons from Dr. Stanley?

[@malachi00000007]

Amen!

[@corkystorky]

Well we could link the Baptists to the original 'Anabaptists', they were 'Calvinists' whose front was to convey the idea that the roman catholic infant baptism was null and that people needed to be baptised according to their conscience and conviction. Anabaptist means 'baptise again'. The later Baptist groups were divided according to forms of government but theologically they are predominantly Calvinist

Awesome Study Bible! Use it in the Olive Tree android mobile app. and desktop version all the time. Still need to get a hard copy though!

[@OneFaithMinistries]

From someone who also owns Dr. Stanley's book, I can read right along with you. Dr. Sproul would agree with this statement. Calvinists do not deny the responsibility of man, that would be Hyper-Calvinism and Fatalism. Listen to Dr. Stanley's sermon about Calvinism vs. Arminianism where he agrees with both Calvinists and Arminians and says both groups preach the Gospel of the Lord.

[@eaglemount]

Do you have a link or title for Dr. Stanley's sermon about Calvinism vs. Arminianism?

[@robroy4058]

Dr. Stanley is very wise, he's not in a camp he preaches Gods sovereign gospel. He believes in predestination but doesn't try to over explain it, He says that's Gods business and it had nothing to do with us but with Gods plan. He preaches anyone can be saved which us how we should look at it, even with a limited atonement. We can't say who's elect, that's Gods business.

[@kenspongebob3682]

The Catholic Church didn’t chain the Bible to the lectern for nefarious purposes. It was merely because books up to that point were extremely expensive and mostly handwritten. This prevented them from being stolen.

[@dimains6011]

They weren't making copies to hand out to everyone, though. Power was at least part of the reason.

[@No_bread-and-circuses]

@@dimains6011 Not to mention burning people at the stake for putting it into the hands of the common man.

[@AnneofAvonlea]

But they burned people at the stake and burned any copies of the Bible. That’s beyond nefarious. Too bad you don’t understand history and you’re blinded by your bias.

[@bobbyrobby3600]

In the commentary does it record Calvin burning Christians on the stake in Geneva Switzerland for disagreeing with Calvin himself?

[@No_bread-and-circuses]

John Calvin himself did not personally burn anyone at the stake, but he was involved in the case of Michael Servetus, a theologian and physician who was executed in Geneva in 1553 for heresy. Servetus had denied the Trinity and other core Christian doctrines, which were considered grave offenses in both Catholic and Protestant regions at the time. The key details of the case are as follows: Servetus' Beliefs: Servetus rejected the doctrine of the Trinity and published works critical of both Catholic and Protestant teachings. His writings were condemned as heretical by both the Catholic Church and the Protestant reformers. Arrest and Trial: Servetus was arrested in Geneva after attending a church service where Calvin was preaching. Calvin had previously warned him not to come to Geneva. Servetus had already been condemned to death by the Catholic Inquisition but had fled before being captured. Calvin's Role: Calvin acted as a theological prosecutor during the trial, presenting evidence against Servetus' doctrines. While Calvin supported the execution of heretics, he recommended a less brutal method of execution, such as beheading, rather than burning. However, the Geneva city council, which held the ultimate authority, decided on execution by burning. Execution: Servetus was burned at the stake in Geneva on October 27, 1553. This act was carried out by the civil authorities, not directly by Calvin. Broader Context At that time, both Catholic and Protestant regions often executed heretics, as religious unity was closely tied to societal order. Calvin’s role reflects the prevailing mindset of the 16th century, where heresy was seen not only as a spiritual threat but also as a danger to social and political stability.

[@gregsettle5880]

From Charles Stanley's "Handbook for Christian Living" pg 469 "...putting your personal trust in Christ's death on the cross as the payment for your personal sin. It is only when you express personal faith in Christ that His forgiveness is applied to your life. God never forces salvation on anyone. It is a CHOICE you must make" No, Dr Stanley goes by the bible, just as I said!

[@knpstrr]

1D 1R A C U 1L A 209 !! How so?

[@No_bread-and-circuses]

Where does that faith come from? Does not the goodness of God lead us to repentance? Are we not dead in our sins and trespasses? Is not Jesus the author and finisher of our faith?

[@gregsettle5880]

Never heard Dr Stanley any such thing, but I provided you a refernece for exactly what he believes! Sproul thinks man CHOOSES to be saved, I'm sure he would be very surprised to hear that!

[@Michael_Chandler_Keaton]

Every proclaiming Christian who isn't a universalist heretic believes in Limited Atonement to some degree. Just a matter of whether they believe it's limited in intent, extent, or application.

Murderous Mary had hundreds of Christians tortured to death and caused many faithful believers to flee the British isles. Destroying your own countrymen over denomination is indefensible to rational thinking people.

[@kathleenadams4978]

That wasn't the queen of Scots. That was Mary, the daughter of Henry VIII, and older sister of Elizabeth. "Bloody" Mary earned her nickname, by trying to return the church to Rome, and having those slaughtered who resisted. Mary Queen of Scots was a completely different person.

While you are busy being prideful (never met a humble calvinist, how could they be?, God PICKED them) I'm busy spreading the truth about the REAL gospel of Jesus Christ! You know the one that actually BELIEVES John 3:16 without out having to add "believing ones" to the verse! Start following the bible, instead of what men say about the bible, it will be a wonderful journey for you! I pray knowledge and peace for you!

[@jonfaughn9575]

It is my estimation, that there is NOTHING more humbling and able to destroy ones pride than a clear and concise understanding of the sovereignty of God. And that is exactly what Reformed theology or "Calvinism" teaches. As Spurgeon was quoted, "Reformed Theology is just a nickname for biblical Christianity."

[@gabs5614]

Then you’ll be a messianic Jew...as God led me after many hours of Bible study

Dr Stanley and Dr Sproul believe VASTLY different things. Stanley believes the bible and Sproul follows the man-made doctrine known as calvinism.

[@dan9509]

Greg Settle You have failed to see the paradox's in God's word. 1. Man has free will and can choose to rebel against the calling if the Holy Spirit 2. God saves whom he chooses This is what's taught throughout the Bible. Let God be God and every man a liar! The secret things belong to the Lord

[@rosefenton3005]

Excuse me, but I have never read Calvinism in my whole christian life, but I see the doctrines of grace so clearly in scripture. At least, you will, if you use the KJV.

[@richardphillips4168]

The real question is if you beleive God is sovereign,He is in control of every aspect,even mans salvation,its is at this grace we bow,Christ declares He chooses,the Father gives to the Son,and the Son loses none,again He declares I will have mercy on whom I will,and whom I will I harden,it is by grace only are we saved,and that grace is mercy man does not deserve Glory be to God
