Jesus Past, Present, & Future: The Work of Christ

Rating:
Summary: excellent and biblical
Review: This book is an excellent look at the work of Christ. Bruce's strength is that he deals with the text and let's the text speak for itself.

Rating:
Summary: What happened to Love?
Review: This reissue of Bruce's classic work does what the title says it will do: address the work of Christ in the past, present, and future. Although Bruce grounds his work in Scripture citing text after text, it is odd how scarce the word "love" appears. What more central work did Jesus do than to reveal the love of God? Although the book was apparently designed for helping laity study the Bible, this book has the feel of a courtroom rather than a dynamic, love relationship. It is useful for dotting "i"s and crossing "t"s but not so much for melting, healing, or inspiring hearts.
