註釋

"The gospel of salvation will not be restored because it is promoted as a means of addressing social injustice or environmental devastation, but only insofar as its own intrinsic significance is recognized. Although the current promotion of social salvation identifies neglected dimensions of the gospel, on its own this direction could further submerge the gospel in the anthropocentric, technological horizon whereby God becomes another resource for people whose predicament so largely derives from a resource mentality. Reactions against privatistic distortions of the gospel must not be permitted to obscure the importance of personal appreciation and appropriation. The social thrust of the gospel and its personal impact depend upon the reality of the theological basis of salvation in the being and activity of God." "The significance of the Christian gospel of salvation is not primarily a matter of its usefulness, but of its truth. That truth is more a matter of otherness than other-worldliness, of directive than determinism, of destiny than finality."--BOOK JACKET.
