For generations, the Church has celebrated Abraham's obedience on Mount Moriah—the father who raised the knife, the God who provided the ram, the son who survived the altar. We've built entire theologies around radical faith and sacrificial surrender. But we've never preached what came next. Sarah died immediately after Isaac's near-sacrifice. Isaac withdrew into his mother's tent and never truly led his family. Rebekah manipulated the blessing because her husband was too passive to discern. Jacob and Esau's rivalry fractured a nation. The promise survived, but the family collapsed under ...

Will some people be eternally lost? Or will God save everyone? Can a Christian be biblically faithful and believe in universal salvation? In this clear, easy to understand book, Curt Parton examines the scriptural and theological foundations for our traditional view of hell and the case for universal restoration. The eternal conscious torment of the lost isn't nearly as biblically certain as has been thought, and the belief that all will be saved is surprisingly robust scripturally and theologically. Which view is more biblically sound? Which understanding is most in harmony with the gospel?
