Why is the “blood” of Christ such a big deal? Why do we talk about Jesus shedding His blood on the cross for us? Perhaps to you, the talk about Jesus’ blood appears to be an odd thing. But, just as surely as healthy blood is important to the preservation of our physical bodies, so is the blood of Jesus essential to the salvation of our souls. Read this book to learn more as the author explores this fundamental theme throughout Scripture. Here’s a blurb about the book:

Evangelical Christians often sing and preach about the blessed blood of Christ and the wonderful things it accomplishes for believers. To the uninformed ear, such language can convey the idea that Jesus’ blood had semi-magical qualities. Actually, Jesus’ blood was normal human blood, but the Bible refers to it in metaphorical terms to portray the many benefits that come to Christians because of Jesus’ death. In Blood Work: How the Blood of Christ Accomplishes Our Salvation, Anthony J. Carter traces this theme through the New Testament, showing how the biblical writers used the powerful metaphor of the blood of Jesus to help Christians grasp the treasures Jesus secured for them in His death on the cross. In doing so, he provides a fresh perspective on the atonement Jesus made.
