		There are certainly parishes and moments in the life of the greater church when there is a vivid sense of soteriological urgency, when there is a sense that something which is a matter of life and death, both to individuals and the community, is taking place.
		It can cause clergy to cling to their professional competencies which are important but not as important as their call to a unique mediation and proclamation of the reality of God's salvation which is uniquely available in the life of the church, in its preaching, its sacraments, its fellowship and its service.
		We need a theology of salvation which grounds an understanding of the church as a saving reality, a real means of participating in the life and love of God, without which we neither survive nor thrive.

		John Gerstner, for instance, labeled dispensationalism as "dubious evangelicalism" and accused dispensationalism of teaching "another gospel." Some nondispensationalists have claimed that dispensationalism inherently leads to certain soteriological positions such as belief in multiple ways of salvation, Arminianism, antinomianism, and a non-lordship view of salvation.
		Dispensationalists have responded to their critics and have attempted to clarify what they believe to be the correct relationship between dispensationalism and soteriology.
		Nor is its purpose to show that dispensationalists are more or less correct than nondispensationalists when it comes to their understanding of soteriological issues.

	ESSENTIAL DOCTRINES AND REAL RELIGION: THEOLOGICAL METHOD IN WESLEY'S SERMONS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS
		The First and Second Series of Wesley's sermons are structured around a soteriological center which establishes the foundation for Wesleyan theology, and then sermons on the interior life, ethics, and specific doctrines are tied into that primary axis.
		The Second Series of SOSO presupposes the soteriological foundation laid in the earlier material and turns to treat a series of specific doctrines which, though introduced in the First Series, need further elucidation.
		A second consideration was the frequency with which a given doctrine appeared within the Biblical record, hence "we may judge of their importance from this circumstance, that they are not mentioned only once in the sacred writings, but are repeated over and over" (Ibid.).

	Christology is Discovered Soteriologically (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		All of the above views have devastating soteriological ramifications, and that is why they have been rejected in the past, and why I believe they must still be rejected.
		Apart from soteriological considerations Christology would not be a relevant issue.
		It is for soteriological reasons that the church has held, and should continue to hold a Chalcedonian Christology.

	In the 1950s and 1960s Dispensational teachers came to emphasize the soteriological continuity in God
		In the 1950s and 1960s Dispensational teachers came to emphasize the soteriological continuity in God's plan while continuing to emphasize eschatological distinctions between Israel and the Church.
		Their move to refine Dispensational articulation of soteriological continuity emphasized that spiritual salvation would be the same for believers of all dispensations, and the means of this salvation for an individual was faith alone.
		Because of this explicit emphasis on soteriological continuity, these Dispensationalists asserted that the Church partakes of the spiritual provisions of the Abrahamic Covenant, and allowed for at least some application of the soteriological blessings of the New Covenant in the Church dispensation.

		Personal and corporate aspects of redemption make up the soteriological concern, while the entire doctrine is covered with eschatological concern.
		Others, like Randy Maddox have argued for an orienting concern which holds in tension the soteriological initiative of redemption in the grace of God with the necessary requirement of human response-ability.
		He goeth on in the soul conquering and to conquer, till he hath put all things under his feet, till ‘every thought is ‘brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ’;.

	Catalyst: Contemporary Evangelical Perspectives
		The particular-universal soteriological structure found in Buddhism is as scandalous as that found in Christianity.
		Consequently, Hick simply replaces the scandal of the particular-universal soteriological structure found in Christianity with his own western-intellectual version of the scandal.
		The adequacy and coherence of the Trinitarian-Inclusivist approach resides in the fact that it preserves the scandal of soteriological particularity against pluralistic reductionism and it allows for universal access to salvation against exclusivistic restrictions.

	Kamma in Context: The Mahakammavibhangasutta and the Culakammavibhangasutta
		This failure is a result of attempting to abstract a philosophical doctrine from a context rich in dialectical form and soteriological significance.
		In these cases it is not the action born out of the wrath or the jealousy that is the cause of the outcome, but the psychological state itself.
		This emphasis on individual volition is soteriological as it posits the moral status of the mind as the basis of the path to salvation.

	Soteriological Fundamentalism and Interreligious Dialogue
		The soteriological assertion of the centrality of Jesus for salvation can raise doubts in the minds of Christians with regard to the validity and efficacy of religious paths proposed by non-Christian faiths.
		In the context of soteriological fundamentalism, thus, the burning question for a Christian who is interested in inter-religious dialogue is how one genuinely appreciate one’s neighbors’ faiths and their diverse religious practices.
		However, the emphasis on a basic soteriological regimen can be misinterpreted in exclusive terms to limit and hinder the genuine interaction among living faiths.

	Implications of the "Already/Not Yet" Construct
		While the dialogue seriously called into question the man's present covenantal benefits, it also illustrated the confusion surrounding the present soteriological state for God's people within the futurist system.
		Christ and the apostles were all born under the covenantal system of the Mosaic Law (Gal 4:4), a system that the apostle Peter claimed not even the forefathers could bear (Acts 15:10).
		The realities of the new system would be delivered to the saints at the return of Christ back out of the Holy of Holies -- that is, once his priestly Day-of-Atonement duties were accomplished for His people (Heb 9:23-28).

	How to Live the Victorious Life
		Much evangelical theology tends to relegate justification by faith to an initiatory action in the soteriological process.
		This is because it contends that the subjective (personal) justification of the believing sinner is a once-and-for-all, nonrepeatable act.
		Another alternative is to regard justification as mere forgiveness for past sins, then sanctification as the higher stage in the soteriological process.

	The Myth of Campbellite Soteriological Simplicity
		Despite what some may believe, Campbellite soteriology is not more simple than that of the average soteriological framework whereby regeneration, justification, and the receipt of the Spirit of God occur prior to one’s being baptized with water.
		The legitimacy of latter soteriological system can be argued just as easily as can Campbellite soteriology.
		Such an assertion, of course, would only be an instantiation of the pot’s calling the kettle fl at best and an untrue statement at worst given the very real conceptual flaws manifested in the writings of Campbellite apologists, these flaws existing with regard to logic

	The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity
		For Orthodoxy, theology, and especially trinitarian theology, is wholly confessional, that is, doxological in character and soteriological in its importance.
		The worship of God as Trinity is a dynamic and soteriological experience, the beauty of God experienced in the liturgy of prayer, and is expressed in the Church's confession of praise.
		The worship of the Church reflects the mystery of the Christian existence.

		This course studies the soteriological, historical, and ecclesiological foundations for the cross-cultural mission and ministry of the global church.
		This study includes a brief review of the theological foundations for the Christian Church’s outward journey via ministries that require it to overcome varieties of cultural barriers in order to help people experience the spiritual life and growth that come through relationship with God.
		It also includes a survey of missiological paradigms, the challenges of contextualization, the specific challenges confronting the post-modern church, and important elements of an “emerging church” paradigm.

	Times & Seasons » What is “Church Doctrine” Good For?
		The discussion of “church doctrine” on this blog has thus far focused on what might be called its soteriological significance.
		However, it is not obvious to me that understanding “church doctrine” is only significant in the soteriological context.
		One could simply be curious, desiring deeper understanding of both one’s own beliefs and the beliefs of others.

	SPIRIT AND FORM IN WESLEY'S THEOLOGY: A RESPONSE TO KEEFER'S "JOHN WESLEY: DISCIPLE OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY"
		Luke Keefer's principal thesis, as I see it, is that "Aldersgate refocused Wesley's primitivism from ecclesiology to soteriology" (p.
		It is somewhat misleading to speak of a shift from "ecclesiological primitivism" to "soteriological primitivism" in Wesley, or in connection with Aldersgate.
		One needs to remember that restoration of the form of life of primitive Christianity was always Wesley's goal, both before and after Aldersgate.

	The Relationship between Incarnation and Atonement in the Theology of Thomas E. Torrence
		However, he is mostly fascinated by and indebted to Athanasius and expounds at great length how the thoughts, insights and faith of the fourth century Bishop of Alexandria helped to shape Nicene theology.
		Inseparably linked with and preceding this soteriological emphasis is what Torrance calls the "king-pin of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed" - the homoousion which affirms the oneness in being between the incarnate Son of God and the God the Father.
		If we look at the Nicene theologians we see that while they recognised humanity's basic inability to comprehend the concept of God's atoning self-identification with sinful humanity they, nevertheless, felt compelled to declare their conviction that Christ bore our infirmities, sins and judgement not in some external way but within himself.

	Maximus the Confessor - On the Free Will of Christ
		For buried deep within his many layers of technical investigation lies a concept of salvation that has its heart in a true soteriology.
		This soteriological heart is, for Maximos, the notion of reciprocity, of mutual exchange and interaction in the process of human salvation -- a notion that by no means finds its first patristic expression in Maximos, but which finds in him perhaps the most poignant presentation and emphasis of the theme in the early Church.
		It was Maximos' investigations into and clarifications of this relational concept of salvation in Christ that was to link his name so closely to the topic throughout the centuries to follow.
