I'm pretty sure it's Dever rhyming with ever and I know it's /Sprole/.
Mark Dever, the second one
RC Sproul, the first one
Mark
I've always read them as Deeeever and Sprowl, but I could very well be wrong. :)
April is correct. It's #1 for both.
Mark Devvvver (short 'e' sound)
R.C. Sprole (long 'o' sound)
That was fun, what else ya got?
Yep. I said "Deeeever" until I started listening to Nine Marks. Then I heard him pronounce it himself.
When you only read them it's hard. I was just wondering yesterday while admiring my new books that came in the mail, is Richard Sibbes "Sibes" or "Sibbs"?
Dan... that was too easy.
How about... Thabiti Anyabwile.
Tah-bee-tee Ahn-yah-bwee-lay.
I couldn't resist aswering that one, and I also can't resit bragging that I got it right before I heard it spoken. It's just about my finest accomplishment.
Short 'e' on Dever's name and long 'o' sound on Sproul. I was wondering why you were saying "ow" on Sproul's name.
Thirsty David,
There might be variation, but I've seen and heard it with the /th/ pronounced, and not just a [t].
IOW, Tha-BEE-tee Ahn-yab-WEE-lay.
Mike,
I've heard that too, but when I spoke to him in person, he introduced himself with a T, no h. I suppose it's possible I heard wrong, but I don't think so.
I was a bit bored so I jumped from Pyro to here and found your neat little quiz! April is right on both. I have, however, heard R.C.'s last name been pronounced "Sprowl". I had a college professor who had the same last name but pronounced that way, so I thought R.C.'s had to be "Sprowl", until I heard R.C. pronounce it himself.
Here's another one:
Ligon Duncan. Is it:
a) Leeg-uhn
b) Lie-guhn
c) Lihg-uhn
Ooh, I know that one.
Lig'n.
You cheated :) :)
And to think Ligonier Ministries isn't named after him! Wierd!!
