Redeemer (Christianity)
Christian theology sometimes refers to Jesus using the title Redeemer. This refererences the salvation he accomplished, and is based on the metaphor of redemption, or "buying back". In the New Testament, ''redemption'' can refer both to deliverance from sin and to freedom from captivity. Although the gospels do not use the title "Redeemer", the idea of redemption occurs in several of Paul's letters. Leon Morris says that "Paul uses the concept of redemption primarily to speak of the saving significance of the death of Christ." Universality The New Testament speaks of Christ as the one Saviour for all people.On Christ's role as universal Saviour, cf. Gerald O'Collins, ''Salvation for All: God's Other Peoples'', OUP (2008). The First Epistle of John says that Jesus is "the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the world" ( 1 John 2:2). Adherents of unlimited atonement interpret this to mean that Jesus' redemptive role is for all people withou ...

Goel (Judaism)
''Goel'' (Hebrew: גואל, lit. "redeemer"), in the Hebrew Bible and the rabbinical tradition, is a person who, as the nearest relative of someone, is charged with the duty of restoring that person's rights and avenging wrongs done to him or her. One duty of the ''goel'' was to redeem (purchase back) a relative who had been sold into slavery. Another was to avenge the death of a relative who had been wrongly killed; one carrying out this vengeance was known as the ''goel hadam'', commonly translated to English as "avenger of blood." The term ''goel'' is also used in reference to other forms of redemption. In the Book of Isaiah, God is called the redeemer of Israel, as God redeems his people from captivity; the context shows that the redemption also involves moving on to something greater. Duties of the goel The obligations of the goel include the duty to redeem the relative from slavery, if the latter had been obliged to sell himself into slavery (); to repurchase the propert ...

Second Adam
The Last Adam, also given as the Final Adam or the Ultimate Adam, is a title given to Jesus in the New Testament. Similar titles that also refer to Jesus include Second Adam and New Adam. Twice in the New Testament an explicit comparison is made between Jesus and Adam. In Romans 5:12–21, Paul argues that "just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19, NIV). In 1 Corinthians 15:22, Paul argues that "as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive," while in verse 45 he calls Jesus the "last/ultimate/final Adam". John Henry Newman used the phrase "Second Adam" in his hymn "Praise to the Holiest in the height", first appearing in ''The Dream of Gerontius'': O loving wisdom of our God! When all was sin and shame, A second Adam to the fight And to the rescue came. The title "New Adam" is emphasised in the Recapitulation theory of atonement. The P ...

Jesus As The Logos
In Christianity, the Logos ( el, Λόγος, lit=word, discourse, or reason) is a name or title of Jesus Christ, seen as the pre-existent second person of the Trinity. In the Douay–Rheims, King James, New International, and other versions of the Bible, the first verse of the Gospel of John reads: In these translations, ''Word'' is used for Λόγος, although the term is often used transliterated but untranslated in theological discourse. According to Irenaeus of Lyon (''c'' 130–202), a student of John's disciple Polycarp (''c'' pre-69-156), John the Apostle wrote these words specifically to refute the teachings of Cerinthus, who both resided and taught at Ephesus, the city John settled in following his return from exile on Patmos. While Cerinthus claimed that the world was made by "a certain Power far separated from" "Almighty God," John, according to Irenaeus, by means of John 1:1-5, presented Almighty God as the Creator - "by His Word."
