You really should read The Inescapable Love of God by Thomas Talbott.

And perhaps:
“Universalism in the History of Christianity “ by Morwenna Ludlow in Universal Salvation? The Current Debate edited by Robin A Perry and Christopher H Partridge
Since you are Catholic…

Hey Ken,
I’ve recently reached out to Dr. David Bentley Hart about this (turns out, we have the same literary agent – go figure), who I know argues from that perspective, and probably presents the most rigorous case for it. I know he’s a busy man, but if I can get him on the podcast to discuss, I intend to do so.

Pat,
Excellent, looking forward to the podcast. I looked up some of his work, sounds intriguing.
I will have to say, though, Thomas Talbott’s Academic rigor is substantial.

Are you familiar with his work?

Agape = ἀγάπη *
Didn’t want people unfamiliar with the Greek to think I was implying that God’s mouth was hanging open in surprise at my emboldened presumptuousness … lol

Sorry, didn’t mean to put that last post in this place. I am visually impaired so sometimes I am pretty bad with my digital work…
