 Sproul compromises on the doctrine of Sola Scriptura, though he is not alone in this matter. He comes from a Classical perspective on apologetics and his epistemology is basically empiricistic. When he deals with presupposing the Scripture (which is the only biblically faithful position), he dismisses it as "circular" and "unproven". What Sproul fails to realize is that ALL epistemologies are unproven and circular to some extent. One cannot prove an a first principle. If an empiricist tries to prove the Scripture by sensation, he has implicitly stated his 5 senses as the axiom and THAT becomes the first principle. What Sproul fails to realize is that he is just as much of a dogmatist on sensation as the Scripturalist is on the Bible, and in this he is utterly inconsistent.

 Not the most accessible of writings, at times a bit dry. But Sproul's clear teachings on this essential truth is worth the effort. Think Luther would be smiling from heaven at this book.
