Book Review: The Truth of the Cross

The Truth of the Cross (2007) is a brief book about what Christ accomplished upon the cross.  RC Sproul clearly discusses what Jesus Christ accomplished on the cross as a penal substitutionary atonement.  He eloquently described how the sacrifice upon the cross was the only way for our salvation to occur.  For those interested in such things, he also gives a fairly clear explanation of limited atonement, the aspect of Reformed doctrine that is often the most difficult for people to accept.  Perhaps what I most enjoyed, however, was the series of questions and answers at the end.  It is definitely a worthwhile read if you want to understand the cross and what Christ accomplished there.  4 stars.
