<b>2018 Book Award Winner, The Gospel Coalition (Academic Theology)<br/><br/>A </b><b><i>Choice</i></b><b> Outstanding Academic Title for 2019<br/></b><br/>Will all evil finally turn to good, or does some evil remain stubbornly opposed to God and God''s goodness? Will even the devil be redeemed? Addressing a theological issue of perennial interest, this comprehensive book (in two volumes) surveys the history of Christian universalism from the second to the twenty-first century and offers an interpretation of how and why universalist belief arose. The author explores what the church has taught about universal salvation and hell and critiques universalism from a biblical, philosophical, and theological standpoint. He shows that the effort to extend grace to everyone undermines the principle of grace for anyone.
