God of Salvation: Soteriology in Theological Perspective
'This important, exciting and informative work will be immensely useful to all who would think seriously about the origin, meaning and goal of salvation today. Anyone looking for a portrayal of soteriology firmly anchored in the doctrines of the Trinity and the incarnation, with a view toward eschatology that takes into account the whole of creation, will want to read this book.'Paul D. Molnar, St. John's University, New York, USA'This skillfully edited collection of essays by leading theologians constitutes an invaluable contribution to the contemporary debate on the nature of salvation. It will prove an invaluable resource for academics, students and lay theologians alike. This is both a timely and immensely impressive volume.'Alan J. Torrance, University of St Andrews, UK'... what unites the ten essays in the volume is the focus on soteriology, as the title suggests, but more than this, there is a focus throughout most of the essays upon the triune God, centred in Jesus Christ, and with an eye on the cosmic scope of God's redemptive purposes. ... [Davidson] opens up something of the expansiveness a genuinely Christian soteriology presents and then offers suggestions, prompts, and indications of where such a soteriology may go. This alone would provide a useful introductory reading for any class on the topic. ... this volume is sure to thrill...' Colloquium'... the text would be especially useful to graduate students, especially in the Reformed and Roman Catholic traditions, as its ultimate value is in placing soteriology within a systematic theological framework, a perspective that it does well.' Religious Studies Review'... an excellent volume, full of thoughtful arguments, and any systematic theologian will benefit from working through it.' Theological Book Review
