About this listen
A stunning reexamination of one of the essential tenets of Christian belief from one of the most provocative and admired writers on religion today.
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, David Bentley Hart makes the case that nearly two millennia of dogmatic tradition have misled readers on the crucial matter of universal salvation. On the basis of the earliest Christian writings, theological tradition, scripture, and logic, Hart argues that if God is the good creator of all, he is the savior of all, without fail. And if he is not the savior 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.

good arguments, but longwinded
David has a great philosophical intelligence, but in his developmental literiture, I'd say he's lot touch with how to present his arguments to the layman. This book might not be aimed at the layman, but nonetheless i have to mention this for future listeners. Every sentence seemed to contain a word that, only the highest of educated people would understand, unless one had a dictionary at hand. He tended to repeat himself quite a bit too. Its a shame, because i feel that in his effort to be extremely specific, the average listener would only end up having a vague idea of his arguments unless they paused every 30 seconds to learn a new word. I got a much better understanding listening to his youtube videos.
The arguments he presents are great, but i feel that the book was only aimed at those who already believe what he does - or it was for those in philosophy class with a greater linguistic knowledge than the average person.

Fantastic but could be hard to grasp
the message is flawless, but the use of advanced grammar may have a few scratching their heads at times
but the message is priceless

Universalism
A wonderful series of meditations on why hell as eternal punishment is absurd. I totally agree. I recommend to all to read and meditate on what DB Hart writes!
