Redemptive violence. There is some crossover here between this subject in Cobb's book and another book I'm currently reading by Walter Wink called Engaging the Powers. Understanding how this plays out in popular culture is important. I think that the latest Rambo installment was perhaps one of the best examples of this as it see the salvific through the lens of redemptive violence.
I also enjoyed the section spent on music in this chapter and the commentary on how Luther and Wesley's appreciation for music helped drive people to sing and worship God. It gave me more insight into the Great Awakening periods here in the US.
Soteriology, the study of deliverance, is important as we articulate how Christianity differs from worldly ideas of deliverance and bring the Good News to the next generation.
