God Saves: We Are Redeemed through the Paschal Mystery (Student Text)

At the heart of the Christian faith is the Paschal Mystery—Christ’s Passion, Death, and Resurrection. God Saves: We Are Redeemed through the Paschal Mystery invites students to study in greater depth the saving actions of Jesus and explore God's plan of redemption. This textbook goes beyond simply recounting salvation history, offering a deeper understanding of how God's love and mercy unfolded from creation, through the fall of humanity, and ultimately in Christ’s triumph over sin and death.

Supporting Course III of the USCCB Curriculum Framework, God Saves encourages students to see their own lives in a new light, reflecting on how God counts on them to fill up “what is lacking in the affliction of Christ” (Col 1:24) in order that they might gain new life in him. Grounded in the Paschal Mystery, this perspective challenges students to consider how their own dreams, responsibilities, joys, sufferings, and daily experiences fit into the larger pattern of the story of salvation.
