Review of The Truth of the Cross
by R.C. Sproul
A recommended resource for "You Are... a series in Christian Basics"
Review by Corey Gage

Have you ever asked yourself any of the following questions?

  • Did Jesus have to die?
  • Was it a normal death?
  • Was Jesus fully and truly a man?
  • Did Jesus have to die on a cross?
  • How much blood had to be shed?
  • Was his sacrifice a negotiation with Satan or a payment to God?
  • If Jesus died for the whole world, is the whole world saved?
  • Did his death get me out of hell or into heaven or both?
  • Do I choose God or does He choose me or some combination of both?

If so, this would be a good book for you! R.C. Sproul does an outstanding job of taking big words like "atonement" and "propitiation" and breaks them down. In a simple, brief way, he explains them so that they are understandable and applicable.
