A broad, multifaceted interpretation of Christian salvation is expressed by the sixteenth-century poet and Catholic martyr, Robert Southwell:

O dying souls, behold your living spring;

O dazzled eyes, behold your sun of grace;

Dull ears, attend what word this Word doth bring;

Up, heavy hearts, with joy your joy embrace.

From death, from dark, from deafness, from despairs,

This life, this light, this Word, this joy repairs.

EXERCISE

Which of the elements listed above rank as most significant in your own theology and spirituality? Are there other ills (and corresponding concepts of salvation) that you would wish to add to this list?
