I would like to thank all those who have motivated and supported me with their precious friendship, making the realisation of this book possible, in particular:
Gaëlle Deperrier: the long and pleasant discussions during our mission in Congo were the fundamental motivation that prompted me to undertake the research on salvation. Special thanks for convincing me to write the book, when I still lacked the courage to start.
Immanuel Arul Paul and all my dear Indian friends: the memory of the beautiful evenings spent in India discussing faith and the extraordinary evangelisation trips were essential inspiration for this work. You have been a model of humility and patience for me.
Maurizio Tiezzi: a warm thank you for passing on to me the passion for Bible study and the principles of interpretation, without which this book would not have been possible.
