My Thoughts on This Series

R.C. Sproul is a fantastic teacher. He's thorough. However, he also assumes his audience to have a more classical education, which would include a wide vocabulary. If you're not in that number, you might find the reading kind of dry. 

I thought the material was interesting and to help me get through the rough patches, I read it aloud to my husband. That way we could discuss any points we came across that seemed a bit on the difficult side. 

We are both learning a lot as we read through this series. It's totally worth the effort in my opinion. And since the questions posed in the titles are very specific, the books are more like pamphlets on specific topics. It doesn't take too long to get through one of them. 

If you're looking for answers to these questions, I'd highly recommend these books to you as Dr. Sproul's teaching is biblically sound and far more thorough than so many of today's usual, shallow offerings. 

Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to check out my post. I hope you see something here which sparks your interest.
