The theology of salvation stands at the heart of the Christian
faith. Very often the structure of Christian salvation is seen in
terms of a single theme, such as atonement for sins, forgiveness,
liberation or friendship with God. It is easy to reduce soteriology
to a matter of merely personal experience, or to see salvation as
just a solution to a human problem. This book explores a vital yet
often neglected aspect of Christian confession - the essential
relationship between the nature of salvation and the character of
the God who saves. In what ways does God's saving outreach reflect
God's character? How might a Christian depiction of salvation best
bear witness to these features? What difference might it make to
start with the identity of God as encountered in the gospel, then
view everything else in the light of that? In addressing these
questions, this book offers fresh appraisals of a range of major
themes in theology: the nature of creaturely existence; the
relationship between divine purposes and material history; the
holiness, love and judgement of God; the atoning work of Jesus
Christ; election, justification and the nature of faith; salvation
outside the church; human and non-human ends; the nature of
eschatological fellowship with God. In looking at these issues in
the light of God's identity, the authors offer a stimulating and
tightly-argued reassessment of what a Christian theology of
salvation ought to resemble, and ask what the implications might be
for Christian life and witness in the world today.
