The ways in which pivotal spiritual figures have attempted to address the complex and various theories of salvation Salvation – redemption or deliverance from sin – has been a key focus of Christian theology since the first days of the church. Theologians from St. Augustine to Karl Barth have debated the finer points of salvation for nearly as long, offering a bewildering array of competing and often contradictory theories. Christian Theologies of Salvation explores the ways in which pivotal theological figures have attempted to answer these questions, tracing doctrines of salvation from the first century into the twenty-first century. Each chapter focuses on a different major theologian, first presenting the theologian’s doctrine of salvation, then highlighting how the doctrine makes a distinct contribution to the church’s overall dogma. The volume offers a comparative focus, including doctrines of salvation that reflect the historical development of Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant views. By illuminating the ways in which doctrines of salvation have evolved over the church’s history, Justin Holcomb takes us across the teachings of Origin and Augustine, John Calvin and Martin Luther, and eventually to the more modern theologies of Karl Barth and Gustavo Gutiérrez. A much-needed map to the options and implications of different theologies of salvation, this book is essential reading for students and scholars of Christian thought.

Seule la lecture suivie du Monologion et du Proslogion, que saint Anselme, enfant d'Aoste, moine du Bec, puis archevêque de Cantorbéry, écrivit en 1076 et 1078, permet d'invalider une bonne fois la lecture "ontologique" habituellement faite de sa preuve que "Dieu est" (He 11, 6), ou qu'Il est "plus grand que notre coeur " (1 Jn 3, 20). L'argument qui rend cette preuve possible est un Nom de Dieu reçu de la Révélation biblique : " Nous croyons que Tu es quelque chose de tel que rien de plus grand ne puisse être pensé ". Ce Nom ne dit ni son existence ni son essence, mais nous signifie seulement une négation : nous ne pouvons-nous mettre au-dessus de Lui, même en pensée, sans cesser d'avoir affaire à Lui. Nous interdire ainsi la superbe et les idoles qui lui servent d'alibi, c'est nous inviter à une humilité " inaugurale ", qui fait écho à l'humilité plus profonde encore de Jésus. Parfaite " Image du Dieu invisible " (Col 1, 15) en sa Passion, Il recouvre à l'aube de Pâques une gloire d'autant plus rayonnante qu'elle est de folle et d'amoureuse descente dans la nuit de nos méprises pour conquérir notre foi, et nous donner au Père comme des enfants de plus.
