Heilsgeschichte noun2 •History seen as the work of God's salvation. (Especially, in Christianity, the history of the Old Testament, seen as a preparation for the coming of Christ.)Without a divine Heilsgeschichte it would not make sense to speak of Jesus' ‘deity’. He would then simply be one of the heroes of history—nothing more. — 1959 •Any interpretation of history as leading to eventual well-being, as e.g. in Marxism.
