Synopsis

This book offers a series of arguments that the salvation of the world is not only possible but a theological necessity. The author's starting point is the conviction that God is a being of infinite Goodness, Wisdom, Justice, Mercy, and Power. These divine attributes, he argues, render not just the idea of everlasting punishment, but the possibility of temporary suffering, irreconcilable with a just conception of the divine nature. He bases his arguments on the assumption that God is impartial, and that his goodness and mercy extend to all his creatures. This book will be of particular interest to readers who are concerned about the problem of evil and the question of human destiny. The arguments challenge traditional views and propose interpretations of Scripture that support a more just and merciful understanding of God.
