The FAQs: Anglican Group Calls on Church of England’s Leader to Repent

Joe Carter has one of his FAQs about what’s been happening lately with the Anglican Church.

What Does ‘Salvation” Mean?

“Almost no word so well captures the heart of the message of Scripture as does the word salvation. It appears more than 170 times in our English translations of the Old and New Testament.
