Locke: The Consequences of Ideas with R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon distinguishes between being rational and being a rationalist, clarifying that Christianity is rational but not rationalistic, which prioritizes mind and deduction over sensory experience or divine revelation. It highlights John Locke as a transitional figure from 17th-century rationalism to 18th-century empiricism. The takeaway is that a rational faith is intelligible and coherent, but its ultimate truth derives from divine revelation, not solely from human reason or empirical observation.
