David Kelsey offers a groundbreaking discussion of Christian redemption by exploring the story of a series of horrendous events that befell a young boy and his family. Sam, eight years old, was stricken with a puzzling virus that left him physically and psychologically damaged. His family suffered greatly, as well. In the face of these events, Kelsey asks, what can it possibly mean to say that in Jesus Christ, God "redeems" such situations and events?
"His students, colleagues, and readers have long recognized David Kelsey as the clearest theological mind of his generation. In this book he brings that wonderful clarity to bear on the doctrine of redemption. The result is both systematic theology and pastoral theology at its best." - William C. Placher, Wabash College, and the recipient of the American Academy of Religion's 2002 Award for Excellence in Teaching"
