Review: THE HOLINESS OF GOD by RC Sproul, Jr.

In a lot of ways, I knew what to expect from this book going in. From listening to him on the radio, I knew he was a Calviinist and scary-smart. I also knew he was a prolific writer. What I didn't know was that he's genuinely funny.

Not laugh-out-loud hilarious or fall-out-of-your-chair uproarious; at no point did I rotflol. It's a book of theology, after all, not comedy. The humor is usually hidden and often subtle. Compared to the other Calvinist books I've read,which have been so serious they warped space, this one was a laff riot.

Even with the jokes, it's still a good source of of information, provided you can take it from its Calvinist context. If you can, I recommend it.
