Gerald O’Collins, S.J. is an Australian Jesuit who’s taught at Gregorian University in Rome since the 70s. I greatly enjoyed his book on the Trinity (and blogged a bit about it here), so was pleased to discover that early this year he published Jesus Our Redeemer: A Christian Approach to Salvation in which O’Collins offers a systematic soteriology. He covers the topics of creation, original sin, atonement, the role of the Holy Spirit and the church, the salvation of non-Christians, the final resurrection, and the redemption of creation. I just received the copy that I ordered and am eager to dig in. Expect posts soon.

It also has a really lovely cover image from Sophie Hacker a contemporary religious artist:
