Is Universalism Biblical?

Theology in Progress

In this episode, Samuel and I discussed A LOT of different aspects about whether or not universalism is biblical. Samuel also recommended a lot of books and articles, which I link to below.

• Sam's blog: https://historiakaitheologia.com/
• Greg Boyd's book "Cross Vision," which attempts to put forward a unique hermeneutic of reading the violent portions of Scripture in light of the cross. https://amzn.to/2MQJbbN
• The book "Beyond Retribution" https://amzn.to/2ZJPIH0
• Thomas Talbott, "The Inescapable Love of God" https://amzn.to/2ZHNmbN
• Jeffrey Trumbower, "Rescue of the Dead" https://amzn.to/2NL0nPG
• Robin Parry, "The Evangelical Universalist" https://amzn.to/2ZL2WTW

Also, here is information on the ecumenical council where universalism was "condemned": https://afkimel.wordpress.com/2018/04/13/apocatastasis-the-heresy-that-never-was/amp/

And here is a YouTube video of David Bentley Hart explaining allegorical reading of Scripture
