Sozo: What Am I Saved From?

The New Testament word sozo is most often translated as "saved, " yet its meaning extends far beyond what modern theology has typically conveyed. It encompasses healing, deliverance, restoration, and wholeness-realities that unfold not only in eternity, but within the lived experience of believers. In Sozo: What Am I Saved From?, Kirkland M. Rite invites readers to reexamine the biblical framework of salvation through a thoughtful and compelling exploration of Scripture.
Moving beyond reductionist interpretations, this work presents salvation as a dynamic, present-tense reality that addresses the full scope of human brokenness. Rather than asking only where salvation leads, this book considers a deeper and often overlooked question:What are we being saved from-here and now?This is a work for readers seeking clarity, depth, and a renewed understanding of one of the most foundational themes of the Christian faith.
