Quarantine-Book #29:
I just finished "Jesus, Past, Present and Future: The Work of Christ," by F. F. Bruce, circa 1979.
If I don't really comment on this book it's because this seems to be one of Bruce's cross-over books into a (young?) Christian Living market. His academic stuff is killer.
Props to Bruce (Wright and Boyd) for being academics who will write close to the ivory tower and, at times, the pew.
Not too much to say about this one. Bruce seems to take a two pronged approach to the work of Christ though they aren't connected as well as others. The sacrificial aspect of the Atonement is amplified as the meat and potatoes with triumphant King Jesus hiding in the shadows. Thank God for N. T. Wright's The Day The Revolution Began. But this is even less specialized a book than "Revolution" so its understandable that nuance is missing.
His coverage of Christ our high priest on Hebrews was very good.
