Overview
A unified soteriology for the whole church.Ā
It is commonly claimed that Western Christianity teaches salvation as deliverance from sin through Jesusās sacrifice on the cross, while Eastern Christianity teaches salvation as deliverance from deathāand as deificationāthrough Christās incarnation. But is it really true that no normative, unified doctrine of salvation is to be found in Scripture and tradition?Ā
Theologian Khaled Anatolios, deeply grounded in both East and West, here advances a soteriology that speaks deeply to all Christians. He argues that both Eastern and Western perspectives are needed, and especially that Eastern theology and liturgyācontrary to Western misperceptionsāhold cross, resurrection, and glorification together in an exemplary way. Anatolios uses the phrase ādoxological contritionā to suggest that the truth of salvation is found both in Jesusās perfect glorification of God and in his representative repentance for humanityās sinful rejection of its original calling to participate in the life of the Holy Trinity.Ā
Deification through the CrossĀ is a salutary rebuttal of the postmodern fragmentation that assumes no single, normative soteriology can apply globally. Anatolios systematically expounds an integrated soteriology, which he then puts into dialogue with various perspectives, including liberation theology, Girardian theory, and penal substitution. All who seek to understand and teach āthe joy of our salvationā will find indispensable help in this magisterial retrieval of an often-misunderstood doctrine.
