I thought he did an amazing job.
I’m reading it for the 3rd time.
If he went to forcefully with the message of Universal Salvation the book would not have made the same impact.
I believe he was trying to challenge people’s thinking on the topic to let them decide what makes more sense.
It was genius and I hope he continues to write this way so his readers are given space to come to their own conclusions.
Yeah…it was a confusing read…some great parts but some poor parts….One min he sounds totally like a believer in Universal Salvation…next minute he’s saying classic CS Lewis ‘great divorce’ type language….
Maybe he was afraid of the damage to his career as being a pastor at his church if he came right out and embraced U.R ? …..
What it does show me (by the huge reaction in the mainstream church) though is that right beneath the surface of christians all over the earth is an uneasiness about believing in the traditional hell…..It shows that most people deep down (though they might not know it consciously) don’t really believe in hell.
Gary: Yes, Jeremy, more and more people especially with the help of the internet are beginning to see that the roots of the Hell teaching come from other religions, not from the ancient Hebrew and Greek in the Bible.
