Pauline Soteriology: Perspectives of James Dunn and Udo Schnelle Shiferaw Feleke Siso

The purpose and meaning in life has a lot to do with salvation. It is possible to say that within each human individual there is a tendency to search for meaning and purpose of life. Pauline Theology of salvation deals with the basic meaning of life and addresses the crucial causes of all human problems in line with sin. Salvation is needed because there is sin. In other words, if there is no sin in humanity, there would have been no need of salvation. Hence, salvation is God?s reaction on sin. Meanwhile, how does salvation apply to humankind? How can human individuals have and maintain a restored relationship with God? What are the significances of the Christological events with regard to the provision of salvation for human beings? PAULINE SOTERIOLOGY addresses these and other important questions and gives relevant responses to all.
