The Evangelical Universalist, Third Edition - Paperback

by Gregory MacDonald (Author), Oliver D. Crisp (Afterword by), Chris Tilling (Foreword by)

God will save all people through Jesus Christ. The Evangelical Universalist sets out to defend that bold claim with an array of arguments. The author maintains that the most coherent way to make sense of orthodox Christian faith is by recovering the ancient Christian tradition of universal restoration.

For decades The Evangelical Universalist has shaped the debate on this important matter. Now in a revised and expanded edition, it contains new chapters on (i) universal salvation in early Christian theology, (ii) the roles of Scripture, reason, experience, and tradition in people's journeys into "the larger hope," (iii) a new account of the doctrine of divine election, (iv) and a critique of an influential modern case against Christian universalism.
