The Mystery of Christ & and Why We Don't Get It

by Robert Farrar Capon · 1993

+ Want to read

Capon uses a variety of exchanges to drive home his point that salvation can be achieved not just through faith, but by active works. Along the way, he explores guilt, forgiveness, love, anger, romance, grief, spiritual contentment, the Incarnation, reincarnation, resurrection, and more—managing, in the process, to make salvation something fresh and new.
