Soteriology

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Soteriology is the branch of theology that deals with salvation. It is derived from the Greek sōtērion 'salvation' (from sōtēr 'savior, preserver') + English -logy. The term itself can be used to refer to any kind of religion, and no savior figure or figures are required. Soteriology is a key factor that distinguishes religion from philosophy."
