What does salvation in the New Testament look like? "The New
Testament does not develop a systematic doctrine of salvation,"
writes Brenda Colijn. "Instead, it presents us with a variety of
pictures taken from different perspectives. From one angle, the
human predicament is rebellion against God. Salvation looks like
living under God's universal reign. From another angle, the human
predicament is bondage to both internal and external forces.
Salvation looks like freedom from those forces. From yet a third
angle, the human predicament looks like alienation from God, from
other people, from creation and even from one's own best self.
Salvation looks like the restoration of those relationships."
Colijn, who holds degrees in English literature as well as
theology, embraces a critical-realist methodology that incorporates
New Testament theology, literary criticism and theological
interpretation. She advocates listening to the individual authors
of Scripture in their own social-cultural and historical settings,
while looking for how the texts work both individually and
collectively at a literary level. Students of the New Testament and
of theology will both find their vision broadened and their
understanding deepened by this rich, informative study. As the
author seeks to understand their implications for people of faith,
she uncovers how New Testament images provide the building blocks
of the master story of redemption.
