Abstract
It is not enough--if not untrue--simply to say that the faithful of the Old Testament were saved by faith in the Christ to come as we are saved by faith in Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ who has come, without answering the- problems that their incomplete revelation raises. What exactly did they mean by “salvat1on?” If they knew of no heaven, was their concept of salvation limited to a deliverance from the evils of life or did it go beyond? What was the answer to sin? In what manner did they, or could they receive the mercy and forgiveness of God? How did they know that God was merciful? What was the answer to death? It is the purpose of this thesis to seek answers to these questions, and to ascertain exactly how the Old Testament faithful regarded "salvation" and how they attained or hoped to attain it.
