Titelkurzbeschreibung

What does it mean to say that salvation is God's business, and God's alone?&quote;Who will be saved?&quote; is almost always a question about them, and rarely about us. Thinking itself wrapped securely in the everlasting arms, the church has spent much of its history speculating on whether God will allow anyone else to join the party.But if we truly believe that salvation is God's business, and God's alone, then perhaps we should stop asking, &quote;Who will be saved?&quote; and ask instead, &quote;How is God calling me to participate in the redemption of the world?&quote; Rejecting the idea that God chooses some and not others, drawing on his Wesleyan heritage, and deepening his longstanding theological conversation with Karl Barth, Willimon reflects as a pastor and a theologian on God's intention that all would someday return from the far country into the loving embrace of the One who created them.
