Tradition, Akin explains salvation for the scholar and the novice
alike, distilling down all the perspectives to an understandable
and clear-cut conclusion. This book should be in the hands of every
person concerned with -- Steve Ray "Author, Crossing the Tiber:

"Redemption is a beautiful and profound mystery, the fruit of true,
authentic, and unmerited friendship with Jesus Christ. In The Drama
of Salvation, Jimmy Akin explains Scripture and Catholic doctrine
to reveal the divine love at the heart of our salvation. This book
will be meaningful to anyone who desires to serve God in this life,
and to be happy in heaven with him for eternity." -- The Most
Reverend James Conley "Bishop of Lincoln Nebraska"
"The most important truths anyone could hope to know are those that
pertain to what must we do to be saved. Jimmy Akin has written a
fine book that carefully and clearly explores this topic using
biblical, Patristic, and magisterial material. The Drama of
Salvation is a very useful resource for those who wish to embrace
the Church's call to evangelization. " -- Ralph Martin "President,
Renewal Ministries"
