Sproul, a noted speaker, author and minister, is president of Ligonier Ministries, which he founded in the early 1970s. His Renewing Your Mind broadcast, sponsored by Ligonier Ministries, is now heard on more than 300 radio stations in the United States and in more than 100 countries throughout the world. Sproul is senior minister of preaching at St. Andrews Chapel and professor of systematic theology and apologetics at Reformed Theological Seminary. He holds doctorate degrees from Free University of Amsterdam and Whitefield Theological Seminary. He has written more than 50 books.
Robertson Dean's masterful narration brings what could otherwise be a dry subject to life. With seamless narratives and attention to detail he delivers Sproul's lessons on how to read the Bible. Dean's perfect timing lays the practical groundwork for personal study of the scriptures and equips listeners to dig out underlying biblical meanings with discernment and common sense. With clarity Dean exposes two common myths noted by the author: The Bible is too difficult to understand without theological training and the Bible is boring, outdated, and irrelevant to our time. As the author discusses why the Bible should be studied and provides rules of interpretation for lay readers, Dean portrays the historical biblical narrative, as well as biblical culture, principles, and customs, with authenticity. Sproul's teaching is a valuable resource for church, Sunday school, or individual use. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
