This engaging book probes the meaning of salvation -- peace, forgiveness, grace, reconciliation -- spoken of in the New Testament as a \"mystery.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Reminding his readers, sometimes in startling ways, that salvation is a gift rather than a transaction, Capon uses a variety of dialogues to drive home the truth that \"there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.\" Along the way he explores guilt, forgiveness, love, anger, romance, grief, spiritual contentment, the Incarnation, reincarnation, resurrection, and more -- and manages to make salvation something fresh and new in the process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Farrar Capon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
