About this listen

At every Sunday mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven ''for us men and for our salvation". But what does ''salvation'' mean? In this robust and accessible book, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical answer.

He deftly tackles this complex topic, unpacking what the New Testament teaches about salvation in Christ, detailing what exactly salvation is and what it is not. In easy and listenable prose, he explains what the cross, the church, and the trinity have to do with salvation.

While intellectually stimulating, Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know is deeply spiritual, and at its core, it is the salvific message that God is love, and his love is one of transformation and redemption.

Series summary: The new What Every Catholic Should Know series is intended for the average faithful Catholic who wants to know more about Catholic faith and culture.

The authors in this series take a panoramic approach to the topic of each book aimed at a nonspecialist but enthusiastic readership/listenership. Forthcoming titles planned for this series include: literature, salvation, mercy, history, art, music, and philosophy.

Modernistic Interpretation at Best

Although much of this book has good and true information in it, there are some significantly confusing parts which to lean towards religious relativism. This is especially true with the discussion of the statement, “there is no salvation outside the church”. Not even a single church father is quoted on this statement and I would believe that many Church father's would disagree with the current interpretation in this book. There is also quite a bit of modernistic interpretation here which most traditional Catholics will find confusing.

The biggest problem here for a Catholic though is that there is not even a SINGLE chapter devoted to the significance of the Holy Eucharist in the discussion of salvation. The Eucharist, as Pope John Paul II said is the source and summit of the Catholic Life. If you are a traditionally Orthodox Catholic you will likely want to pass this book by.
