Description: Salvific Law examines the relationship between salvation and law, focusing in particular on the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches (CCEO). The book begins with an examination of man's need for salvation and man's need for law from both historical and theological perspectives. A detailed analysis of the CCEO follows, revealing that the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches is not only a legal code to govern the church, but more importantly it serves as a vehicle of love to bring all mankind to the salvation of Jesus Christ.
