Good News | The Advent of Salvation in the Gospel of Luke

In Good News Darrin Snyder Belousek explores the meaning of salvation in the Gospel of Luke. Through biblical reflections on the stories and songs of Luke’s telling of the coming of Jesus the Messiah, this book explains the manifold message of “good news.” Fully accessible to laypersons yet substantially informed by biblical scholarship, keenly aware of spiritual concerns and passionately engaged with social issues, this book offers a vision of salvation that is grounded in grace and nurtured by prayer, relevant to both the spiritual and the social, and inseparable from doing justice and seeking peace.Darrin W. Snyder Belousek teaches religion and philosophy at Ohio Northern University and Bluffton University. He is the author of Atonement, Justice, and Peace: The Message of the Cross and the Mission of the Church (Eerdmans, 2012). He has served the church for seven years in mission assignments through voluntary service and international teaching and currently serves as executive director of Bridgefolk, a Catholic-Mennonite ecumenical organization based at Saint John’s Abbey in Collegeville, Minnesota.
