Ric Machuga argues on biblical, historical, and theological grounds that universal salvation is necessary for a coherent proclamation of the Gospel. A creation in which some people suffer unending torment because God either can’t or won’t bring them to repentance is not good news. This last sentence is sure to provoke protest: “But what about free will?” Machuga responds by exposing modern assumptions.

With this blunt observation, Mariann Colby, an attractive, church-going mother and housewife in Shaker Heights, Ohio, bet a defense psychiatrist that she would not be convicted of murder.
