A concise guide to four distinct versions of Christian universal salvation--with contributions by David W. Congdon, Tom Greggs, Morwenna Ludlow, and Robin A. Parry"In this very readable, compact volume, David Congdon brings together deep thinkers to broaden our understanding of the varieties of Christian universalism, from the early church fathers to the present. The result is a highly instructive and clear-eyed analysis of one of the most important and most complicated teachings in the Christian faith."--Amy Marga, Luther Seminary"This book introduces four strong sets of arguments by thinkers who have been exploring these matters substantively over extended periods of time. Come ready to engage with the warrants and justifications for these various universalist options, and if you do, you might become a better theologian, if not a better Christian, even if you remained unconvinced about becoming a universalist in any of the ways invited to in these pages."--Amos Yong, Fuller Theological Seminary"Caricatures and misrepresentations often fuel theological debates, especially on controversial themes such as Christian universalism. These essays offer clarity on the variety of universalist theologies in response to the perennial question of Christian universalism, at a time when this debate is again having a moment and in a way that does not offer a definitive conclusion but provides the conditions for a real conversation."--Aristotle Papanikolaou, Orthodox Christian Studies Center, Fordham University "A helpful overview of four theological varieties of Christian universalism: patristic, evangelical, post-Barthian, and existential. This volume will be interesting to Christian readers in general, to students in religious studies, and especially to those in theology and ministry. It will help readers distinguish, in a broad but useful way, the theological presuppositions and developments of various accounts that are often referred to with the umbrella term 'Christian universalism.'"--Ilaria L.
