Salvation History as a Model for Theological Thought1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 February 2009
Extract
The religious traditions in which the members of this Fellow-J. ship stand are at one in asserting that salvation is both needful and available. They are moreover at one in asserting that the prescribing and the provision of salvation take place within history, and that those who apprehend and appropriate it are historical beings.
