It's likely the most difficult problem in the Christian faith. It was a major reason that Bertrand Russell, John Stuart Mill, and countless others rejected Christianity. It was an ax that began to chip away at Charles Darwin's early faith. How could he accept that some of his closest relatives and loved ones would be spending an eternity in agonizing torment? Yet the Christian doctrine of an everlasting hell of unmitigated pain turns out to be completely unwarranted biblically. A close examination of the Bible demonstrates this, but it also rejects any form of universalism that trivializes personal obligations to God. The first edition of Flirting with Universalism looked at the biblical and philosophical evidence behind the various Christian views of the afterlife of those who reject their God: universalism, eternalism or traditionalism, and annihilationism. The second edition covers additional important arguments. It concludes by taking a position between universalism and traditionalism: God will forever honor the final choices of those who reject God, and yet, in the end, all things will be reconciled to God. The Bible affirms the goodness, justice, and love of God.

Reviews for Flirting with Universalism, 2nd Edition: Resolving the Problem of an Eternal Hell

"""In this new edition of Flirting with Universalism, Dennis Jensen strengthens the case for his semi-restorationist understanding of the last things. His engagement with Scripture is especially notable. The seemingly contradictory passages supporting eternalism, annihilationism, and universalism are not dissonant, but become a beautiful harmony that gives compelling testimony to God's goodness, justice, and love. This book is a gift that can open hearts, change minds, and inspire faith."" --Matt Marston, senior minister, First Baptist Church Athens, Georgia"
