Revisiting soteriology

Abstract

This article enters into dialogue with the reviewers of three books, all of which concerned the redemptive ‘work’ of Christ ‘for us’: S. T. Davis, D. Kendall, and G. O’Collins (eds.), The Redemption (2004), G. O’Collins, Jesus Our Redeemer (2007), and G. O’Collins, Salvation forAll (2009). The aim is to carry forward debates that concern the biblical basis and theological nature of the redemption effected by Jesus Christ, interdisciplinary approaches to this mystery, the methodology and terminology to be adopted, and the salvation of unbelievers and the non-evangelized.
