God's Inescapable Justice Deidre Richardson

Often, Christians find themselves debating how God saves. Traditionalists have taught for years that Jesus loves all and died for all, though only some will be saved. But universalist theologian Thomas Talbott agrees with others in church history that everyone, even Satan, will ultimately be reconciled to God. Does he have a case? That is what Arminian theologian Deidre Richardson seeks to investigate in her book, "God's Inescapable Justice: A Refutation of Thomas Talbott's Universalism." In this book, Richardson engages Talbott's claims in certain passages of Scripture, showing why traditionalists have and continue to disagree with Talbott about the reconciliation of every human being (and spiritual being) to Christ. Universalism remains a fascinating theological theory with no scriptural proof.
