Here are the sources that I will be using as I study and think about soteriology, how the Jesus and the cross effect our salvation:

Thanks to The Reverend Doctor Jonathan Grieser of Grace Grace Episcopal Church, Madison Wisconsin for some additional resources:

I will also be posting on line resources, articles and links to other blog sites, that I find useful and or instructive.  Here is the first from this supplemental list:

Why the Cross? God’s at-one-ment with humanity.  Published in The Christian Century, March 11, 2013.  Written by Charles Hefling.

The Article by Walter Wink from which chapter 11 of Living the Questions draws its title, The Myth of Redemptive Violence to the reading list.  It offers a history and critique of a world view built around a God of violence and pain.
