Beyond the Salvation Wars

Why Both Protestants and Catholics Must Reimagine How We Are Saved

De: Matthew W. Bates

Narrado por: William Sarris

God has provided salvation, but when does it begin? What is required of us? Can we lose it? These and other disputed questions have divided Christians for centuries. Matthew W. Bates has already shown that the gospel is about King Jesus and that faith includes allegiance. In Beyond the Salvation Wars, he unpacks additional truths from the Bible and the early church to describe how salvation happens.

Bates offers a new model, encouraging Protestants and Catholics toward long-term unity. But his proposal contains strong medicine: it doesn't sugarcoat current Protestant and Catholic errors but diagnoses with precision for the future health of the church.

By using accessible writing and stories, Bates shows what Scripture teaches about baptism, election, regeneration, assurance, and justification. A companion to his previous book, Gospel Allegiance: What Faith in Jesus Misses for Salvation in Christ, this book will appeal to those who want to discover core truths about how we are saved—for their personal journey as well as for final Christian unity.

Thought Provoking

My youngest son who directs my podcast content put me onto Dr Al Mohler and the Briefing and then my son shared another podcast done by Mohler which was In the Library
A discussion of books and Christianity
This book is thought provoking. I found myself disagreeing with the author on several points while my Greek scholarship is limited to two years in college and is a bit rusty I find my self questioning his translations of certain Greek words and their implied or expressed meanings. I would also say that he finely splits hairs on some doctrinal issues. About salvation and gospel and good works and justification.
