So Great a Salvation: Soteriology in the Majority World (Majority World Theology (MWT))

Synopsis

Though The Global Center Of Christianity Has Been Shifting South And East For Decades, Very Few Biblical And Theological Resources Have Dealt With The Seismic Changes Afoot. The Majority World Theology Series Seeks To Remedy That Lack By Gathering Well-regarded Christian Thinkers From Around The World To Discuss The Significance Of Christian Teaching In Their Respective Contexts. This Textbook Series Introduces Students And Scholars To These Enlightening Developments From The Majority World. In So Great A Salvation Nine Scholars From The Global Church Reflect Deeply On Soteriology In The Majority World. For Many Christians Outside Europe And North America, The Doctrine Of Salvation Is Not A Mere Theological Construct But, Rather, A Matter Of Life And Death. Taking African, Asian, Latin American, And First Nations Cultural Contexts Into Account, This Book Allows Readers To See God's Creative Deliverance In A Fresh Light. -- ‡c From Amazon.com.
