Salvation Army
.
.
Christian denomination. Founded in 1865 by W.
Booth
for evangelism, and for social work, it is now established in about 100 countries. From the beginning, its organization has been along military lines. Its
Arminian
doctrinal convictions, embodied in its
Orders and Regulations
(1878), reflect the Wesleyan background of its founder, particularly in universal
redemption
, human free will, and a post-conversion sanctification experience. Music has always played an important role in the Army's worship and witness.

Salvation history
(Germ.,
Heilsgeschichte
). In Christian theology, the history of God's saving work among men and women. More usually it is supposed to denote a distinctive concept in the Bible itself, according to which God is essentially one who acts in history, and Christ is the midpoint of a continuum from creation to consummation.
