Everything about Soteriology totally explained
Soteriology is branch of theology that deals with
salvation. It is derived from the
Greek sōtērion (salvation) (from
sōtēr savior, preserver) + English
-logy.
Christian soteriology specifically deals with how
Jesus' life and death brings salvation to people. The Roman Catholic view is that man greatly insulted God and that Jesus' death pays the debt to justice. Roman Catholics believe that they receive this justice through sanctifying grace in the sacrament of baptism. These beliefs are based in the Bible, one of the main passages being John 3:14:
"The Son of man must be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in Him may not perish, but may have life everlasting."
St. Augustine says (De Trin. xiii): "There was no other more suitable way of healing our misery" than by the Passion of Christ. Other areas soteriology focuses on are whether or not Jesus suffered on the cross, whether there was any other possible way for Jesus to redeem man. What it means to be saved is also a large debate in soteriology.
