Author Stephen Finlan (STH ’13) recently published Salvation Not Purchased: Overcoming the Ransom Idea to Rediscover the Original Gospel Teaching

Dr. Finlan notes that his book Salvation Not Purchased: Overcoming the Ransom Idea to Rediscover the Original Gospel Teaching (Cascade Books, 2020) “challenges the belief that God required payment in blood before salvation could be offered.”

“Passionately rejecting those aspects of traditional atonement theory that implicitly turn God into a severe, sacrifice-demanding Father, and instead, pointing out the biblical evidence that reveals the original teaching of Jesus as emphasizing a generous and merciful loving God, Stephen Finlan’s remarkable slim volume, Salvation Not Purchased, must absolutely be read and reflected on by all who preach and presume to teach others how to preach the Christian doctrine of salvation.” —Robert J. Daly, SJ, Boston College
