Description
A stunning reexamination of one of the essential tenets of Christian belief from one of the most provocative and admired writers on religion today.
“A scathing, vigorous, eloquent attack on those who hold that there is such a thing as eternal damnation.”—Karen Kilby, Commonweal
“[A] provocative, informative treatise. . . . [Hart’s] resounding challenge to orthodox Christian views on hell and his defense of God’s ultimate goodness will prove convincing and inspiring to the open-minded.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The great fourth-century church father Basil of Caesarea once observed that, in his time, most Christians believed that hell was not everlasting, and that all would eventually attain salvation. But today, this view is no longer prevalent within Christian communities.
In this momentous book, That All Shall Be Saved, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation. Based on the earliest Christian writings, theological tradition, scripture, and logic, Hart argues that if God is the good creator of all, he is the saviour of all, without fail. And if he is not the saviour of all, the Kingdom is only a dream, and creation something considerably worse than a nightmare.
But it is not so. There is no such thing as eternal damnation; all will be saved. With great rhetorical power, wit, and emotional range, Hart offers a new perspective on one of Christianity’s most important themes.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
David Bentley Hart's That All Shall Be Saved has been praised for its passionate and polemical articulation of universalism, arguing against the traditional Christian belief in eternal damnation. Reviewers commend Hart's intellectual prowess and engaging style, with some describing the book as beautiful and irenic. His examination of New Testament teachings and early Christian thought is seen as a provocative and convincing rejection of the idea of everlasting hell, prompting a call back to what Hart considers true orthodoxy.
