Title: Looking for Feedback on a Pro-UR Essay
Post by: Brian Larrimore on February 08, 2014, 05:01:45 AM
Hello Everybody,

I'm glad to be on the Tentmaker forums. The Site has given me a lot of hope in my gradual, years-long conversion to the Universalist Gospel. In order to spread the Gospel, I have written a brief, 37-page essay which makes 5 Biblical cases for Universalism. I would be highly appreciative for any feedback and constructive criticism. I also seek to learn new ideas from the forums themselves. The essay is attached in a Word doc below. Thank you all.

Brian:

I have a fair amount of experience at editing and literary criticism.  I'll take a look at your "brief" essay, and give you some general comments.  A closely-edited, proofread review will require me to send a hard copy back to you, with all my markings and scribbles.  I did the same for a friend's unpublished novel.  I think several people associated with Tentmaker are involved with essays and/or books.  I'm writing an essay on Hell (Hell is a 404) and a book on the Bride of Christ, titled "Chosen."

EDIT:  My full answer will probably be slow in coming, as my wife and I are in the middle of a move, and I spend hours of each day packing boxes.  Others will surely answer first, and that's OK with me.  I did skim the essay quickly and it looks very professional, well organized, and it's even copyrighted (good!).

Hi Brian,

I downloaded your essay and look forward to reading it.  I will let you know what I think, but probably can't promise a thorough and in depth analysis.  I'll be in touch.  Thanks for sharing!

Jon

Hi Brian, I have begun reading your essay. Perhaps if you have time you may want to read mine at www.hell-is-a-myth.webs.com (http://www.hell-is-a-myth.webs.com) , particularly the 3 entries "Hell is a Myth", "All in All", and "The Fire of God". They are relatively short. Then we can chat about our perceptions. In the meantime I will read your essay a couple times over the next couple days. Peace, John
