Synopsis

This book challenges prevailing doctrines on eternal punishment and universal salvation. The author argues that these seemingly contradictory doctrines within scripture can coexist. Using original Greek, the author demonstrates that words often translated as eternal or everlasting do not necessarily refer to unending time periods. The book places the debate within the broader historical context of the beliefs of both the author and the early church, exploring the nuances and subtleties of the original scripture in order to provide a new understanding of both concepts. This book will appeal to scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the intersection of history, theology, and language.
