Current Issues in Soteriology: Papers Presented at a Symposium of The International Society for Biblical Hermeneutics

by Paul Miles, David James, Tom Stegall

The message of salvation is rather God gives eternal life to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ. The doctrine of salvation, often called soteriology, is more complex. What is eternal life? What does believe mean? Who is Jesus Christ? What right does He have to offer anything to anyone? Is faith in Christ really sufficient? Is faith even necessary? Erroneous soteriology can hinder an individual’s spiritual maturity. Worse yet, false soteriology can even inhibit the proclamation of the saving message itself. This volume addresses a handful of current issues in soteriology that are problematic for both believers and nonbelievers around the globe.The chapters were presented at the first symposium for The International Society for Biblical Hermeneutics (ISBH) in January 2021. Being a new venture, ISBH deemed it appropriate to begin with a volume on the doctrine of salvation. This is not to say that every member agrees on every aspect of soteriology, nor does it mean that any participant in ISBH has arrived at his final understanding. On the contrary, Christians should be discussing these issues with each other and growing in their knowledge of the Bible and theology therein.

An excellent resource on current soteriological issues. With a dispensational hermeneutic and Free Grace approach to theology, the authors tackle controversial, but important, topics that affect evangelism and discipleship in the church today. The volume is well-footnoted and the doctrinal statement in the appendix is helpful.
