Session 1

Session Abstract

This panel brings together voices from theology, missiology, and congregational pastoral ministry to respond to David Artman’s book, Grace Saves All: The Necessity of Christian Universalism. The book explores biblical and theological arguments for universalism, as well as its pastoral implications. David Bentley Hart lauded Artman’s work for its “compassion and intellectual honesty” that invites us consider “an understanding of . . . faith that is actually ‘good news.’”
