R.C. Sproul’s latest contribution to Biblical studies, The
Work of Christ, is a solid, no nonsense overview of the life of Christ from
birth to His second coming.
Sproul’s goal was to examine the pinnacles of Jesus’s sojourn on earth
in relationship to his redemptive work that He completed through the cross. But
most importantly Sproul wants us to be able to understand exactly what it is
that Christ did for us through his life.
Sproul, through this book, reminds us that Christ’s entire life was all
part of the redemptive work and needs to be looked at and understood at a more profound level.
The Work of Christ would be an excellent study for a new
believer or a great refresher for a seasoned saint. Each chapter examines a pivotal moment in Christ’s life and
the works He accomplished during that time. From Bethlehem to His return, Sproul breaks it down so we
can see the importance of every aspect of Christ’s works.
To be honest, The Work of Christ provided no new insights
for me – it was an excellent overview – but nothing that made me stop and go
“Wow”. But that’s okay because
what I loved about this book is that, after each chapter, there is a thorough
outline of the important points that you needed to understand about that
section. Even better there is a series of study questions that point you to more scriptures,
allowing you to expand your study, if that’s what you desire. If the reader takes advantage of these
end-of-chapter studies, he will get even more from this book.
The Work of Christ will benefit anyone wanting a deeper understanding
of what Christ did for us. A great
addition to the bookshelf of any believer.
