Universalist theologians

[HatGuy]

Hi Universalist people,

I'm busy reading Thomas Talbott's "The Inescapable Love of God" and enjoying it.

I was wondering if there are any recommended Christian Universalist theologians that those of you who subscribe to this view could recommend. I'm looking for someone (or several) that look at the whole of Christian life in the Universalist sense - not just arguments for Christian Universalism. I'm pretty sure that this particular approach to soteriology will change how one views something like spiritual formation, for instance; or christian perfection; or sin and addiction; and all those sorts of pastoral things. A benefit of a site like Desiring God is it also talks about these topics - would be nice if there is some sort of resource like that but from a Universalist viewpoint.

So far, Google searches aren't producing this sort of thing - although I'm obviously discovering some history, and the tentmaker site is pretty useful.

Thanks!

I found an interesting series of links using the search term "Ultimate Reconciliation"
Links to Ultimate Reconciliation and Featured Sites

Since some of the links are ministries, there may be some resources like you are looking for on one of those pages.

a good exercise is to look at the strongs numbers in each passage and pick the "most grace" oriented translation option then see what you get at the end. blueletterbible.org or onlinebible.net have resources for those kind of studies.

Dear Hat Guy: Michael has provided amazing resources for our consideration. Searching them will require some effort on our part but will be worth the time spent. Let's add one more>>>>

Dr. William Barclay

Overview - William Barclay's Daily Study Bible

"Here is a tremendous picture of Christ. He is the fulfilment of all the hopes and dreams of Israel, for he is the Lion of Judah and the Root of David. He is the one whose sacrifice availed for men, and who still bears the marks of it in the heavenly places. But the tragedy has turned to triumph and the shame to glory; and he is the one whose all-conquering might none can withstand and whose all-seeing eye none can escape." -Rev. 5.13-
