The Way of Salvation: Soteriology in Patristic Biblical Interpretation
ByPublisher Description
The Way of Salvation: Soteriology in Patristic Biblical Interpretation by Michael Young explores the development of early Christian thought on salvation through the lens of the Church Fathers. Drawing from the foundational writings of figures like Irenaeus, Augustine, Cyprian, Ambrose, and Gregory of Nyssa, this book delves into how early theologians understood and articulated the concept of salvation (soteriology) in light of Scripture. It examines key theological themes such as grace, free will, original sin, the sacraments, and the role of the Church in the redemptive process. By analyzing Patristic biblical exegesis and theological debates, Young provides a comprehensive study of the early Church's doctrine of salvation, revealing how these early theological insights continue to shape Christian thought today. The work also explores the interplay between biblical interpretation and doctrinal development, shedding light on the dynamic relationship between Scripture and theological reflection in the early Church.
