I'm not surprised that Princeton/Barthian blogs tend that way, Barth having a bit of a coy tendency toward universalism himself as I understand it. But I wouldn't doubt there are a fair number of evangelical theologians still writing apologetics for doctrines of hell...I mean, if you use Satan as your functional theodicy (heh heh) then he's got to hang out somewhere, right?JTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977180734561873789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12478084.post-16393306876463475612008-01-18T15:14:00.000-05:002008-01-18T15:14:00.000-05:00Hi Jennifer, I don't move in theological circles s...Hi Jennifer, <BR/>I don't move in theological circles so I was wondering if you could help me get a sense of the state of universalism in your circles. My sense is that the position is growing more common but that might just be the impression I get from reading too many Princeton and Barthian blogs. <BR/><BR/>Here at ACU I keep predicting that universalism will<BR/>grow in prominence, but I wonder what your more educated take is.<BR/>Best,<BR/>RichardRichard Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500628452135216019noreply@blogger.com
