Questions relating to salvation -- especially faith vs. works, but also penance, purgatory, indulgences, and free cooperation with God's grace -- have been sore points in the dialogue between Catholics and Protestants. Akin knows and respects the Protestant tradition in which he was raised and the Catholicism he has come to embrace. He is not about to falsify either, or to pretend that crucial differences do not exist. But he is also unwilling to allow theological slogans (such as "faith alone") to distract us from significant points of agreement. His method is to follow Scripture and Tradition wherever they lead, and he is formidably equipped for the task -- with honesty, clarity of mind, and an abundance of logical skill. This is a serious work by a serious and supremely gifted defender of the faith on a topic of central concern for everyone. If it elicits the response it deserves, then all of us, whatever our confessional commitments, will at least be clearer about what really does divide us . . . and what does not.

Great Biblical Explanation of Salvation

By Traditional Catholic from Baltimore, MD on January 22, 2009

Pros:

Deserves Multiple Readings; Informative; Page-Turner

Best Uses:

Gift; Older Readers; Reference; Travel Reading; Younger Readers

Describe Yourself:

Bookworm

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great book that explains the details of salvation and bases it on biblical passages, explaining the biblical language and how protestants often misunderstand the Catholic position on the subject. It outlines the agreements and the areas that there is still room for further dialogue between Catholics and protestants.
