Who Is Jesus ? [Paperback]

R. C. Sproul (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1983

No person in history has provoked such widely divergent assessments as Jesus of Nazareth. Some say He was a cunning fraud, while others say He must have been out of His mind. In many cases His story is altered to suit the fancies of those seeking to make Him an ally for a host of militant causes.

However, as Dr. R. C. Sproul points out in this Crucial Questions booklet, there is compelling evidence that Jesus was something more-that He was, in fact, God in the flesh. By wrestling with the biblical titles for Jesus and the accounts of His life and ministry, Dr. Sproul unfolds the scriptural portrait of Jesus, the Son of God.

This review is from: Who Is Jesus? (Crucial Questions Series) (Crucial Questions (Reformation Trust)) (Paperback)

This book was exactly what it claimed it would be, a short primer on the person and work of Jesus. It is a clear example of Dr. Sproul's wonderful style; a carefully measured portion of theological depth explained in terms the rest of us can understand. I always enjoy reading Dr. Sproul's work, as it is always so well thought out, reasoned and clear; this particular book is no different.
Who Is Jesus? Is broken up into 3 different parts. The first part identifies the need to understand who Jesus is/was. The 2nd part (more substantial than the first) discusses the titles that scripture has bestowed upon Jesus and their importance. The 3rd part talks about the life of Jesus.
I enjoyed the book though I would prefer a more substantial work on the subject. That being said, this book is great for its intended audience, which is to say that it is the perfect introduction to the person and work of Christ. As usual, Dr. Sproul's mastery of theology and philosophy are quite evident. In his customary manner he brings a wealth of knowledge to bear, without overwhelming his audience. I have no reservations about recommending this book to any of my friends, and have already done so to my family.

This review is from: Who Is Jesus? (Crucial Questions Series) (Crucial Questions Book) (Kindle Edition)

I found this book at Sproul's church in Orlando, Florida.What drew me in was the cover. I bought it and started reading it. I think I came closer to God because of this book. I'm 11, and I love theology. This was the first book I bought from Sproul. If you are a new christian or you want to learn more about Jesus, this book is for you!!

This review is from: Who Is Jesus? (Crucial Questions Series) (Crucial Questions (Reformation Trust)) (Paperback)

The whole Crucial Questions series by RC Sproul is a must for all Christian libraries - personal or church. The covers and shortness is deceiving. I bought them for my 14 year old niece as she is new to Bible study. I previewed them and was surprised to find that I wanted copies for myself. This set would be great for family or group study. RC Sproul is an intelligent, Bible-based pastor and theologian of the highest order.

Can we ever know enough about Jesus? Can we ever stop seeking a deeper relationship? Absolutely not. This book is that right before you go to bed read that you need to focus your heart and mind for the night.

Highly reocmmended for all Christians on any and all levels of their spiritual growth.
