Rev Dr Robin Parry’s book, The Evangelical Universalist, was what finally convinced me that Christian Universalism was more biblical than the alternatives—admittedly I’d already read Keith DeRose’s excellent introduction, Universalism and the Bible, and Tom Talbott’s, The Inescapable Love of God so I wasn’t entirely ignorant of the biblical case.
He wrote the most popular article on my website, 7 Myths About Universalism. He contributed a chapter to Zondervan’s important, Four Views on Hell, and has been interviewed about Christian Universalism countless times and is the most sort after international speaker on the topic.
