Synopsis

The Scriptural Meaning Of The Title “Saviour” As Applied To Our Lord. Second Edition by James Yates is a sermon preached at Glasgow on July 28, 1822, at the annual meeting of the Scottish Unitarian Association. It undertakes a thorough examination of the words save, salvation, and Saviour as used in Greek and Hebrew contexts, arguing that their common sense denotes deliverance from evil in this present life rather than a guarantee of future punishment. Drawing on classical and Jewish sources, Hammond, Rosenmüller, Kenrick, and others, the work defends interpreting these terms in their original senses and critiques orthodox interpretations that equate salvation with eternal damnation. Yates demonstrates that in the New Testament the terms are frequently used to describe deliverance from disease, danger, ignorance, and vice, and only occasionally to denote future wrath. The discourse then applies this understanding to Jesus as the light of the world and as a moral reformer, rather than as a mere disposer of eternal judgment. The second edition was printed in 1835 for the British and Foreign Unitarian Association and sold by R. Hunter.
