The Evangelical Universalist

Count Me In
Like the author, I'm now a hopeful dogmatic universalist. Hopeful because we hope it's true. Dogmatic because the doctrine is biblically supported. The book is written at a seminary level. The first chapter covers philosophic reasons why universalism is preferable ...
