Salvation (from Latin: salvatio, from salva, 'safe, saved') is the state of being saved or protected from harm or a dire situation. [1] In religion and theology, salvation generally refers to the deliverance of the soul from sin and its consequences. [2] [3] The academic study of salvation is called soteriology.

[27] Peter Adamson offered several more possible lines of criticism.
