- "The report begins by tapping the roots of the Christian understanding of salvation to be found in the Bible and in the developing faith of the Church. It gives particular attention to two matters: the place of other faiths in relation to this understanding of salvation and the Christian hope for the future, based on a belief in Christ as Saviour. In exploring this subject, the authors are aware that they are touching on matters too deep for our full appreciation and beyond our complete understanding. Knowing now only in part, we look forward to our understanding being corrected and completed, when we come to know even as we are fully known". -- back cover.
