Will you join us on Wednesday mornings for study and transformative conversation? Beginning on May 27, we will meet via Zoom to discuss Why Salvation? by Joel B. Green. His book was first published by Chalice Press in 2003, in the Understanding Biblical Themes series. Abingdon Press published an updated version in 2013. The publisher writes,
Salvation is the bedrock of our faith and the touchstone for faithful living. It is the good news of God drawing near to us as individuals but also as communities of faith. This book helps us understand that when we say “Jesus saves,” we stand on scripture that proclaims a God who, through Jesus, heals, liberates, and rescues. Like each generation that has gone before, we too must find our own awareness and then respond and participate in God’s work as transformed people, serving together as the Body of Christ. ... In this book Joel Green shows how salvation can illumine new categories for conceiving the world, for making sense of our experiences, and for directing our lives.
Please purchase a copy of the book (see a 45-page preview), it’s available in paperback and e-book formats, and sign up so we can share the Zoom meeting information with you. We meet every Wednesday morning at 8:30 and have used the Zoom video conferencing option for several weeks. If you have any questions about the group or the book, please contact Thomas Kleinert.
