Saving Salvation (Paperback). This item is unavailable.Saving Salvation (Paperback)

Paperback. Two contrary metaphors have been used to speak of the salvation of God. SAVING SALVATION champions the "Highway to Heaven" metaphor rather than the "Ticket to Heaven" one. Salvation is more of a love-drenched, life-yeilding, journey in the will of God than a doctrinal, quick-fix, pass into glory. As part of this journey, SAVING SALVATION argues for faith and works as cooperative partners (not opposing doctrines) in the salvation by grace process. This is because faith generates works, and works generate faith. The two have a symbiotic relationship. It's time Christianity got this right, instead of resting on the thin ice of exclusive positions. SAVING SALVATION also argues that Jesus as "the way" does not automatically exclude those of other religions from the salvation of God. Other book features include a review of the classic atonement theories; an analysis of various traditional doctrinal themes; a look at the Devil from two points of view: biblical and anthropological; an Index of Scripture use, totalling more than 600 entries; a General Index; an Index of Lists and Exhibits; a Glossary; and a Bibliography. This twenty-chapter text includes suggested chapter couplings for study groups. If you are a seeker trying to get to new heights of understanding, SAVING SALVATION may be the theological climbing rope you need. It aims to help the reader get over some difficult terrain of theological confusion and uncertainty, so as to reach summits where the light of saving truth is shining more brightly.
