Important Western Soteriological Works Does anyone know what works are considered to be principal elements of Western soteriological thought, primarily focused on Roman Catholic and Protestant ideologies?

I'm interested mostly in primary texts by the likes of Martin Luther, Erasmus, and Calvin, since I've had a hard time finding exactly where in, for instance, Luther's Works, he discusses such things.


  Example: I'm reading a book on Luther's inception, and it sends me to
  "LW 34:167", which corresponds to one of Luther's soteriological writings. I'm curious if people know about stuff like this for other theological thinkers; for instance where Calvin outlines his theories of predestination.
When I took Soteriology, we read alot of primary sources.  I asked my old professor, Tarmo Toom, an expert in patristic soteriology, for that list.  I've added links to the two documents you will be most interested in reading.


  
  Athanasius, On Incarnation, 25-64; 
  Augustine, On Nature and Grace, 22-51, 58-67.
  Anselm, Why God Became Man? (Book Two); 
  Aquinas, Summa Theologica 12ae, Q 109, Art. 1-10.
  


I remember Athanasius' On Incarnation to be particularly interesting - the idea was that salvation was God's way of telling Jesus how much he loved him, by giving him us and eternal life in us as a love offering...

Specifically, for Luther and Calvin:


  
  Luther, Two Kinds of Righteousness, 
  Calvin, Institutes, Ch. 11
  Tanner, Decrees of the Ecumenical Councils, 671-681; The Remonstrance (The Arminian Articles); The Canons of the Synod of Dort.
  


Finally, for more modern perspectives, he selected:


  
  Soteriology: A Contemporary Protestant/Evangelical Perspective
  W. G. Rusch, Justification and the Future of the Ecumenical Movement, 23-34, 35-46, 133-149; (in class, The Gift of Salvation).
  Soteriology: A Contemporary Roman Catholic Perspective
  Rahner, Foundations of Christian Faith, 24-43; The Content of Faith, 199-202, 344-349; The Hope of Salvation; (in class, Catechism of the Catholic Church).
  
  
  Soteriology: A Liberation Perspective
  - Boff, Salvation and Liberation, 1-66.
  
  Soteriology: An African-American Perspective
  - Cone, God of the Oppressed, 138-162, 195-246.
  
  Soteriology: A Non-Violent Perspective
  - Weaver, Nonviolent Atonement, 12-19, 70-98, 210-224.
  
  Soteriology: A Feminist Perspective
  - Japinga, Feminism and Christianity, 107-126.
