What does it mean to be saved, and how can we make sense of theChristian claim that Christ died for our sins?

That is the work of soteriology, the classic discipline of theology thatinquires into the saving work of Christ and asks the what, why, andhow of redemption as understood by Christians. In this careful surveyand insightful analysis of two thousand years of Christian refl ectionon salvation, theologian David Brondos lays bare the rich, diverse, andeven competing understandings of salvation, their social context anddevelopment, and their strengths and weaknesses. Concentrating onthirteen of the most important fi gures in that long arc - from its biblical roots to its most controverted contemporary expressions - Brondosunfolds the thought of each theologian as articulating a distinctive storyof salvation or atonement.
