Religion & Spiritualitet
A stunning reexamination of one of the essential tenets of Christian belief from one of the most provocative and admired writers on religion today.
The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities. In this momentous book, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation. On the basis of the earliest Christian writings, theological tradition, scripture, and logic, Hart argues that if God is the good creator of all, he is the savior of all, without fail. And if he is not the savior of all, the Kingdom is only a dream, and creation something considerably worse than a nightmare. But it is not so. There is no such thing as eternal damnation; all will be saved. With great rhetorical power, wit, and emotional range, Hart offers a new perspective on one of Christianity's most important themes.

Det är inte ofta man skrattar när man lyssnar på en teologisk bok, men Bentley Hart är mycket underhållande, om än inte alltid lätt att lyssna på. Han har ett övertygande resonemang om universell frälsning med djup förankring i Bibeln och kristen teologihistoria.
