| Summary: | Not only is this a large book, but its subject is one of the largest. Although our civil laws have become more lenient in the sentencing of criminals, it is still maintained that the justice of God demands eternal penalties, and that nothing less will suffice to deter us from sinning. Universalism, the theory that all will be saved or may be saved, is commonly regarded as a heresy, as even the illustrious theologians of the last century who inclined to it were willing to concede. Ramelli's study is not the first attempt to prove the orthodoxy of universalism, but it is surely by far the most erudite. |
