At every Sunday mass, Catholics confess that Jesus came down from heaven ''for us men and for our salvation". But what does ''salvation'' mean? In this robust and accessible book, Scripture scholar and theologian Michael Patrick Barber provides a thorough, deeply Catholic, and deeply biblical answer.

He deftly tackles this complex topic, unpacking what the New Testament teaches about salvation in Christ, detailing what exactly salvation is and what it is not. In easy and listenable prose, he explains what the cross, the church, and the trinity have to do with salvation.

While intellectually stimulating, Salvation: What Every Catholic Should Know is deeply spiritual, and at its core, it is the salvific message that God is love, and his love is one of transformation and redemption.

Series summary: The new What Every Catholic Should Know series is intended for the average faithful Catholic who wants to know more about Catholic faith and culture.

The authors in this series take a panoramic approach to the topic of each book aimed at a nonspecialist but enthusiastic readership/listenership. Forthcoming titles planned for this series include: literature, salvation, mercy, history, art, music, and philosophy.

Thank you so much Dr. Barber for this magnificent work. Being a recent convert to the Catholic Church and coming from an evangelical background, I much appreciate the focus on salvation as a process as opposed to a one-and-done-are-you-saved event. Importantly, you have confirmed that, for initial salvation, the theology is the same: we are saved by grace, full stop. I am also a big Audible fan. The fact that you personally recorded your work is commendable. No one else, no matter the training, could have delivered your message better. Bravo!

The Audible Audiobook "Salvation" by Michael Barber, is beautifully read by the author, and answers so many questions about confusing terminology like "redemption", "atonement", and "justification". An excellent breakdown of how justification isn't just declaring us as righteous, but imparts Christ's righteousness to us. Very convincing scriptural analysis, all as confirmed in Catholic teaching as well. I really appreciated how he explained how the serpent's temptation of "to know good and evil" was basically referring to the prevalent desire to determine good and evil for ourselves. A really good breakdown of the threefold temptation of the serpent. Also an excellent logical and scriptural breakdown of why our relationship with Christ is familial in the sacraments, and not merely the "personal relationship with Christ is all that matters" concept, that seems to be the well-intentioned, but misguided, notion of many Christians. Such deep and sublime truths about our union with Christ, stated so plainly and matter-of-factly. It's another outstanding Michael Barber book that establishes him with Scott Hahn, John Bergsma, and Brant Pitre, as one of the best scriptural scholars of our time.

Outstanding!

Those is a must read. Allow yourself to grow in the understanding of Christ’s true teaching on salvation. It will explain why the Calvinist and other Protestant views on salvation are lacking and misunderstand scripture.

Must Read Especially if you Have both Catholic and Protestant Friends

Fantastic insights all backed up with scripture. I might need to go through this one a couple times. There is so much here but it’s put out in a very digestible way.

Awesome
