SALVATION STORIES: FAMILY, FAILURE, AND GOD'S SAVING WORK IN SCRIPTURE

The story of Scripture is the story of God’s family. That family, like ours today, has its share of hardships, moral failings, betrayals—and dramatic transformations. In Salvation Stories: Family, Failure, and God’s Saving Work in Scripture, author Ryan Budd explores the profound humanity of Old Testament figures like Abraham, Jacob, Tobit, Judith, and more and shows how God made his merciful love evident in their sufferings and joy.

What Salvation Stories reveals that the families in Scripture experienced all that we do. And just as God shaped their stories for his glory and their good, he does so for each of us.

 Ryan Patrick Budd is a Research Assistant at the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology. He formerly served as the pastoral associate at St. James the Greater parish and director of Priest Field Pastoral Center in Jefferson County, West Virginia. A graduate of Mount Saint Mary’s Seminary, his previous published writings focus on the works of Cardinal John Henry Newman and St. Ignatius of Antioch.
