Endorsements for\u00a0The God Who Saves<\/em>:<\/strong><\/p>

\u201cDavid Congdon and I grew up together theologically. It has been my privilege to watch his penetrating insight grow and develop into a creative theological program. Rumors of dialectical theology\u2019s demise have been greatly exaggerated. If you are interested in a glimpse of what a fresh dialectical theology for the twenty-first century looks like\u2014and you should be!\u2014you need look no further.\u201d

\u201cWhile the\u00a0idea of universal salvation has long been a minority report in the Christian tradition, it has found an increasing number of advocates\u00a0in recent times. This volume provides\u00a0a\u00a0rigorous, creative, and comprehensive\u00a0dogmatic\u00a0account of\u00a0this\u00a0belief from one of the brightest young scholars at work today.\u00a0Even those who are not in agreement with Congdon\u2019s\u00a0line of argument and conclusions will be challenged\u00a0and enriched by the detail and scope of his engaging\u00a0theological vision.\u201d

\u201cCongdon has authored a sophisticated and ambitious dogmatic essay full of insight and bristling with provocation. He invites us to join him in a sustained experiment in radically soteriocentric thinking: what if the work of the God of the gospel on the cross were truly the Archimedean point from which\u00a0all things<\/em>\u00a0are moved and so saved?\u00a0Congdon\u2019s aim is to limn the revolution in Christian theology that should follow when Christian imagination and intelligence are animated and disciplined anew by faith in the God whose very being is at stake in his advent \u2018for us and for our salvation.\u2019\u00a0The God Who Saves\u00a0<\/em>is an important intervention in contemporary doctrinal debate.\u201d

\u201cThis is a bold, clear, and stimulating articulation of\u00a0the good news. While few will follow Congdon at every point, his account\u00a0of\u00a0eschatological theo-actualized universalism provokes in the places where it\u00a0matters most, and reminds us again why the\u00a0advent of Jesus Christ is the first\u00a0article of faith, and the ground that makes Christian dogmatics possible,\u00a0intelligible, and\u00a0profoundly hopeful. Dorothee Soelle once insisted that \u2018when\u00a0we ask ourselves what God is like, we must answer first by\u00a0looking at what God\u00a0does.\u2019 This essay takes up that momentous task admirably.\u201d

\u201cA powerful and provocative work. In prose that is simultaneously critical, polemical, and constructive, Congdon articulates in outline a distinctive theological vision of the apocalyptic gospel of God\u2019s gracious salvation. Though many will disagree with the proposals found herein, none can afford to ignore the searching questions that Congdon puts to contemporary theological discussions. To do so would impoverish our discourse and impair our witness to the expansiveness of God\u2019s embrace.\u201d
