A Leap of Faith?
Summary
R.C. Sproul critiques fideism, arguing that faith is not a blind leap but a reasoned trust grounded in historical evidence like the resurrection. He emphasizes that apologetics honors Christ by demonstrating the cogency of Scripture’s truth claims rather than demanding credulity. Using biblical examples, Sproul illustrates that God provides substantiated proof, ensuring believers commit to truth rather than superstition.
