What is atonement, and what does it have to do with our salvation? What does the Bible say about God's saving of humanity? What has Christian history said about the cross and about how our salvation is achieved? What role does resurrection play in salvation? How is the created world beyond humanity affected by the atonement? Eric Vail probes these questions and more in the Atonement and Salvation volume of The Wesleyan Theology Series. God's purposes for humanity and all creation include flourishing and abundant life. Explore with Vail the ways that the Father works everything in love, through Christ, by the Spirit, toward God's ultimate salvific intent. Christians are used to hearing theological language in the church but may not feel they have adequate resources to enhance their understanding of what certain terms or concepts mean. The Wesleyan Theology Series aims to discuss Christian doctrines in accessible language that states clearly what we believe and why. Each volume is written by an author with a particular expertise who also has the ability to simplify and clarify complex ideas. The Wesleyan Theology Series is written specifically for the theologically curious layperson, student, or pastor. Topics include: the Trinity, creation, eschatology, the church, the sacraments, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, Scripture, sin, grace, salvation, sanctification, Christian ethics, and atonement.
