Providing an excellent resource for students in systematic theology and soteriology courses, John Hammetts and Charles QuarlessThe Work of Christexamines Christs service for his people, especially his atoning work on the cross. The first half ofThe Work of Christoffers a biblical theology of the atoning work of Christ, from the Pentateuchto the Prophetsto the writings of the New Testament. The second half approaches the theology behind the work of Christ systematically, guiding readers to understand how the church has grappled with the atonement through the ages. The volume concludes by examining the work of Christ after the cross, from his resurrection to his work still to come in his return. Equipped with a deeper understanding of Christs work, readers will be empowered to live a life that reflects the profound impact of the Savior’s sacrifice.

Recognizing that faithful theological study is an integrative task, the Theology for the People of God series uniquely combines biblical and systematic theology in dialogue with historical theology and with application to church and life. This series addresses classic doctrines of systematic theology and other relevant topics, pairing careful scholarship with the practical understanding that theology finds its focus within the context of the church. Together, the series’ authors guide readers in developing a theologically informed way of seeing the world, a Christlike response to life, and Christian motivation for ministry.
