The Redemption

More about the book

Focusing on soteriology, the book delves into biblical literature and pivotal moments in Christian theology, particularly highlighting Anselm of Canterbury's influence. It explores the complexities of good and evil, introducing the concept of cultural evil. Lonergan's unique perspective on "the just and mysterious law of the cross" is emphasized throughout. The first part distinguishes between "redemption as end" and "redemption as medium." Additionally, it features previously unpublished texts from the late 1950s, enriching the discourse on these theological themes.
