Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of Catholic soteriologythe doctrine of salvationas understood through the Church's teachings on grace, faith, sacraments, prayer, morality, and the ultimate destiny of the soul. Salvation, in Catholic theology, is depicted not as a singular moment but as a lifelong journey of conversion, growth in holiness, and deepening union with God. Through this journey, the soul is invited to participate in God's divine life and love, becoming more Christ-like through the grace offered by the sacraments, the guidance of the Church, and the support of the Communion of Saints.

The book explores the stages of spiritual growth, from initial justification through sanctification, purification, and the mystical path toward union with God. The Catholic understanding of salvation emphasizes both personal and communal aspects, teaching that each believer's journey is intertwined with the Church community, the saints, and the mission to bring God's love to the world.

The ultimate goal of salvation is eternal life, where the soul experiences the beatific visiona direct and unending encounter with God's love and wisdom. This vision fulfills every human longing and is the ultimate expression of divine mercy and grace. The book also reflects on eschatological beliefs, including the resurrection of the body and the new heaven and new earth, where all creation is restored to harmony in God's presence.

In its entirety, the book provides a roadmap of Catholic spirituality and moral life, showing that salvation is a holistic journey that encompasses the individual, the Church, and creation itself, culminating in the eternal union with God.
