In theological terms, what does Ransom describe?

• A. The forgiveness of sins through Jesus' miracles.
• B. The saving significance of Jesus' death, freeing humanity from bondage to sin and death.
• C. The establishment of the Church's hierarchy.
• D. The creation of the world.

Answer: (D)

Ransom describes the saving significance of Jesus’ death, freeing humanity from bondage to sin and death. The idea is that humans are trapped under sin and the power of death, and Jesus’ death acts as the price paid to liberate and restore humanity’s relationship with God. It emphasizes the cross as the means of redemption and reconciliation, not miracles, ecclesiastical structures, or creation. In short, the focus is on salvation accomplished through Jesus’ death, granting release from sin and its consequences.
