Editorial Reviews

It is widely recognized that ‘salvation’ tends to serve as the comprehensive label, gathering up all the other categories: justification, election, redemption, regeneration, sanctification, and so forth. This excellent volume, grounded in responsible exegesis and wise theological reflection and synthesis, fills in the connections, and thus succeeds in painting an edifying and wholistic picture of salvation. This work deserves wide circulation.”
—D. A. Carson, emeritus professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
 
“Morgan and Schreiner have produced an enjoyable and comprehensive work on salvation. This volume will serve as an ideal textbook for whoever wants to know what God revealed about salvation in Scripture and how the people of God have historically understood salvation. I highly recommend this work for students of theology, preachers, and Bible teachers.” 
— Dongsun Cho, assistant professor, Korea Baptist Theological University and Seminary

“This book on salvation by Morgan and Schreiner is first rate: clearly written, thoughtfully organized, and informed by close attention to the biblical text and the biblical plotline, but also engaged with past and contemporary debates. Union in Christ insightfully colors the work which treats all the important doctrinal topics from election to the glory of God in salvation. This book is to be savored.”  
—Graham Cole, dean emeritus and professor of biblical and systematic theology, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
 
“In this hefty book, Morgan and Schreiner take on the impressive task of making accessible the complex conversations around the topic of salvation. They do not shy away from disagreements but helpfully bring in voices and texts from traditions they differ from, showing how various conclusions are reached but making clear their logic. Most helpfully, they provide systematic summaries at the end of each chapter to help the reader bring everything together by the end of the book. This is an engaging read on an important subject.”
—Mariam Kovalishyn, associate professor of New Testament studies, Regent College
 
“From the fall to redemption and consummation, Morgan and Schreiner provide an in-depth look at a biblical theology of salvation, including a definition and pastoral application of the Bible’s vocabulary of salvation. A must read for every pastor and seminary student who wants to understand the depths of God’s grace in salvation for all nations through Christ and in the Holy Spirit.”
—John Massey, associate professor of missions and Charles F. Stanley Chair for the Advancement of Global Christianity, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
 
“What a treasure this volume is, filled to the brim with the promises of God by which we’re saved from our sins and given new life in Christ by the Spirit. It is comprehensively biblical, systematically arranged, centered on the person and work of Christ on our behalf, and laid out by two faithful, learned, godly theologians. This work deserves a wide reading among all those who want to know what God has revealed about the way of salvation.”
—Douglas A. Sweeney, dean and professor of divinity, Beeson Divinity School
