The church's vocation is to treasure the gospel and live it out. The late theologian John Webster believed Christian preachers and theologians should be principally concerned with the proclamation of this news. At the center of that proclamation is our salvation in Christ. In this compilation of homilies, John Webster explores the various contours of the salvation accomplished for us in Christ and displays for preachers a model of theological exegesis that understands that the gospel is the heart of holy Scripture. Readers of Christ Our Salvation will be presented with a feast of "theological" theology for Christian proclamation.

John Webster's glittering masterpiece published alongside a major 2014 revival by the Royal Shakespeare Company.
The evils of greed and ambition overwhelm love, innocence, and the bonds of kinship in this dark tragedy concerning the secret marriage of a noblewoman and a commoner.
The best-known of the Jacobean tragedies; an exemplary model of the "tragedy of blood."
The plays of Jacobean dramatist John Webster are masterpieces of early seventeenth-century English theatre. The White Devil depicts a dark, sinister world of duplicity, intrigue and murderous infidelity, while The Duchess of Malfi tells the macabre story of a woman who marries beneath herself and sets in motion a terrible cycle of violence. Unlike these revenge tragedies, The Devil s Law-Case asserts social order in a plot filled with twists of fate. Written at a time when the court of King James was rife with instability and corruption, Webster s disturbing plays reflect this abuse of power and are known for their horrific vision of humanity yet they are also some of the most rich, sophisticated dramas ever composed.
