Description

According to Church creeds, doctrines, and teaching, Christians are the fortunate recipients of God's gracious act of salvation through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But what does that mean? If today's students articulate "salvation" in terms of an ordo salutis or a narrative concerned with God's answer to personal sin, or merely in terms of heavenly reward, this is because they do not grasp the expansive soteriology of the New Testament. And if students have a solid grasp of this key theological concept, they often see it as problematic and irrelevant to their own lives. This book will look at the corpus of the New Testament and re-frame the terminology and issues associated with salvation in contemporary language, so that students will appreciate and understand what it can mean in their own lives and in the broader faith community. In addition, the book covers other relevant and collateral questions, which include: What does it mean to be human? Why do we, our church, and our world need to be saved? What does it mean to live in a community dedicated to saving, now, then, and in the future?
