Treasure In The Field

Robert Krieg’s aim in Treasure in the Field is to help readers understand better the nature of the salvation that God offers to humanity and become more conscious of it in their lives. That is, he intends not only to impart information and ideas found in Scripture, church teaching, and theology but also to illumine our own experiences.

Krieg retrieves the Bible’s teaching on salvation and expresses it in contemporary terms. Drawing deeply from Scripture, he defines salvation as God’s gift of personal identity, of wholeness. In this perspective, God calls us not to invent ourselves but to discover ourselves as God intends us to be. Those who gradually make this discovery become grateful recipients who give themselves and their talents for the well-being of other people and creation.
