The Great Exchange, by Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington
Posted by jimhamilton on September 28, 2007
Is a clear understanding of the atonement an academic preserve to which only theologians and scholars have access? Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington don’t think so.
Thus, they have written The Great Exchange: My Sin for His Righteousness, which seeks to explain the way that the Old Testament prepares the way for Jesus’ death, then looks at every text on the atonement in the New Testament. Crossway has provided a text-interview with Bridges and Bevington here. They describe their primary audience as “mainstream . . . believers.”
You can check out the book’s website, which includes study guides on the book. This book and these study guides will be ready tools in the hands of disciplers.
Oh that mainstream believers would watch less football this fall so they could have time to read books like this one!
