Abstract
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>What is salvation? What does it look like? How does it come about? These are the questions which animate this third volume in an engaged systematic Christian theology as it develops a theological anthropology. The questions go the root of what it is to be a human being, being made in God’s image, the Incarnation and Crucifixion of Christ. What Christ’s humanity reveals is that we are not fully human because we cannot, like him, be “apart from sin”? So what is sin and how does it impact the way we think, feel, and behave? How does it relate to death and what dies in death? How does Christ’s death act as a remedy to bring about our salvation? And, in being saved, how does the work of redemption re-form our emotions and dispositions such that salvation brings about the liberation of desire (not liberation from desire) and our freedom from fear? How are our inner landscapes transformed such that we can live differently in the environments on which we depend? How does salvation relate to happiness and wellbeing? These are all topics explored in this volume which argues that all will be saved because what is deeply at work is a love that enables us to love and a knowledge that we are each known.</jats:p>
