Why salvation?

Why salvation?

By Joel B. Green

Book Description

In a world where faith often feels disconnected from daily life, theologian Joel B. Green offers a transformative exploration of what it truly means to experience salvation. This thoughtful work moves beyond abstract theological concepts to reveal salvation as a dynamic, ongoing journey that reshapes both individuals and communities.

Green demonstrates that when we declare "Jesus saves," we invoke a profound scriptural truth about a God who actively heals, liberates, and rescues through Christ. Rather than viewing salvation as a one-time event, this book presents it as the foundation for continuous personal and social transformation. The author challenges readers to discover their own understanding of God's work while actively participating as transformed people within the Body of Christ.

Drawing from Scripture's grand narrative, Green illuminates how salvation provides fresh frameworks for understanding our world and experiences. He shows how this central Christian doctrine can guide our daily choices, renew our commitments, and inspire new practices of faithful living. The book serves as both an intellectual exploration and a practical invitation to deeper spiritual engagement.

For readers seeking to bridge the gap between belief and action, Green offers compelling insights into how salvation-centered living can transform not only individual hearts but entire communities of faith, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond church walls.
