What does it mean to live with others who have alsosigned up ongoing, personal and social transformation? Salvation is the bedrock of our faith and the touchstoneforfaithful 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 aGod who, through Jesus, heals, liberates, and recues. As each generation that has gone before, we toomust find ownawareness and then respond and participate in God s workas transformed people, serving together as the Body ofChrist. This book as an invitation to a journey of salvation oriented toward increased understanding but also to transformed commitments, renewed allegiances, and fresh practices. To address the grand narrative of Scripture in a way that takes seriously its essential focus on the journey of salvation is to open ourselves to fresh (and perhaps refreshed) perspectives on the world and, thus, on life in the world. In this book Joel Green show how salvation canillumine new categories for conceiving the world, for making sense of our experiences, and for directing our lives.
