The inescapable love of god / Thomas Talbott. - Second edition. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Part I: Some autobiographical reflections -- Part II: universal salvation and the new testament -- Part III: the logic of divine love.
Will the love of God save us all?In this book Thomas Talbott seeks to expose the extent to which the Western theological tradition has managed to twist the New Testament message of love, forgiveness, and hope into a message of fear and guilt. According to the New Testament proclamation, he argues, God's love is both unconditional in its nature and unlimited in its scope; hence, no one need fear, for example, that God's love might suddenly turn into loveless hatred at the moment of one's physical death. For God's love remains the same yesterday, today, and forever. But neither should one ignore.
