Jesus Our Redeemer examines what it means when Christians call Jesus their 'Redeemer' or 'Saviour'. It tackles such questions as: How can redemptive events in the past (Christ's life, death, and resurrection) bring about saving effects in the present? Why do human beings need redemption, both individually and collectively? What images of God are implied by the saving action of God and by human needs? Gerald O'Collins SJ draws on the scriptures, Christian hymns and texts for worship, literature, the visual arts, and other sources. He examines four major models of how redemption through Christ has been thought to work: theories of deliverance, penal substitution, sacrifice, and transforming love. He concludes by considering the outworking of salvation in the life of the Church, the situation of non-Christians, and the final consummation of human life and the created world at the end of time.

Life in biblical times was difficult for a woman alone. Kinsman Redeemer tells the story of an Israeli woman named Rachel, who lived during the time of the three kings. When Rachel's husband dies and leaves her without a child, she not only has to deal with the hardship of losing a husband, but without a male heir, she will lose her land and house. If one of her dead husband's brothers will give her a male child, she will be redeemed. Her deceased husband's older brother refuses to help her, but the younger brother steps up and proves to be a passionate husband and the true Kinsman Redeemer. This stunning novel is an ancient tale filled with love, disappointment, tears, hardship and victory.

The Redeemer is the fourth in the Harry Hole series to be translated into English. A mixture of religion, urban misery, modern European history and grisly horror story, The Redeemer takes the crime writing of Jo Nesbø to yet another level, establishing him firmly as one of the international top names in crime fiction. Through snow-swept, Christmas-illuminated Oslo town, Inspector Harry Hole chases a faceless contract killer from the former Yugoslavia among the homeless junkies, perverts and Salvationists, eagerly waiting for a new saviour to deliver them from misery – whether he brings new life or immediate death.

In the final installment, the demon describes the life and ministry of Jesus, a secret about Samantha is revealed, and Mr. Wong's identity becomes known.
