About the Book

A debate between Christian thinkers (biblical scholars, theologians, philosophers, and historians) about whether God will one day save everybody. Will God one day save all people through Christ's atoning work? That is the question at the heart of the debate in this volume. The book opens with a rigorous defence of universalism. Thomas Talbott argues that Scripture teaches the ultimate salvation of all people including those in hell. This is followed by two responses from biblical scholars (Howard Marshall & Thomas Johnson) who come to different conclusions on the merits of Talbott's arguments from the Bible. Then two philosophers (Jerry Walls & Eric Reitan) consider Talbott's claims and reach radically differing conclusions. Next a Calvinist (Daniel Strange) and a freewill theist (John Sanders) explain why, for different reasons, they think Talbott is mistaken. Two chapters tracing universalist teaching in Christian history in general (Morwenna Ludlow) and evangelical history in particular (David Hilborn & Don Horrocks) precede a final response from Talbott to his interlocutors.

Review :
'Taking its cue from Thomas Talbott's project, this volume of essays engages in intelligent discussion of the various universalisms to which evangelicals might be attracted. Whichever way readers decide, it is good to have the subject placed firmly and creatively on the agenda.' Dr Nigel G Wright, Principal of Spurgeon's College, London. 'In this work evangelicals are talking to one another about the controverted question of universalism. It's a conversation worth overhearing by the wider theological world.... On matters of authority, the primacy of Scripture is given its due, tradition is taken seriously and reason is honoured in the development of points of view, pro or con... This...is a land-mark discussion among evangelicals, with ecumenical constituencies--academic and ecclesial--having much to learn from the give-and-take.' From the foreword by Gabriel Fackre, Abbot Professor of Christian Theology Emeritus, Andover Newton Theological School. 'This book contains a tightly focused, well-argued debate on the important issue of whether all persons will finally share in the joy of God's salvation. The book sets a high mark for both quality of argument and civility of the arguers, and is unusual in looking at the issue from biblical, theological, and philosophical perspectives. Both those who favor universalism, and those, such as myself, who must in the end reject this view will benefit from careful study of this work.' C. Stephen Evans, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities, Baylor University
