Christian Universalism

Christian Universalism is nothing new, it is as old as Christianity: 

Christian Universalism takes many forms, from ultra conservative Bible-Only Universalism to ultra liberal Universalism. Every major Christian Denomination has in its ranks Universalists:

  1. Orthodox Universalists ( see: The Truth of Orthodoxy, by Nicholas Berdyaev
    & Father Lev Gillet, The Monk in the City, a Pilgrim in many worlds. See also: Orthodox Christianity in the British Isles John Scotus Eriugena

  2. Catholic Universalists ( Renowned Swiss theologian, Hans Urs von Balthasar wrote: "Hermann-Josef Lauter poses the uneasy question: 'Will it really be all men who allow themselves to be reconciled? No theology or prophecy can answer this question. But love hopes all things (I Cor. 13:7). It cannot do otherwise than to hope for the reconciliation of all men in Christ. Such unlimited hope is, from the Christian standpoint, not only permitted but commanded.'" see: Dare We Hope That All Men Be Saved? by Hans Urs von Balthasar, Ignatius Press. Karl Barth also expressed universalistic sentiments, and so did the great medieval mystic Julian of Norwich. See also: Bede Griffiths, Man, Monk, Mystic. In Australia, Father Michael Morwood also appears to be a universalist )

  3. Protestant Universalists are so many that I simply add below a small list of links and articles:

One Hundred Scriptural Proofs that Jesus Christ is Saviour of all Mankind
"100 Scriptures by Thomas Whittemore showing that Jesus Christ is indeed Savior of the whole world, not just a part of it"
Hell is Leaving the Bible "Forever"
by Gary Amirault
 
"Your Bible translation may be harmful to your spiritual health. Read this article and see what we mean." Contains a Chart showing many Bible translations which DO NOT contain the concept of a Hell of everlasting punishment and many scriptural proofs that words like "eternity," "forever and ever," "everlasting" in various leading Bible translations are simply gross errors.

Arguments in Favour
of Christian Universalism

Chapter 20 of a book by E.E. Guild
 "Those who embrace Universal Salvation are often accused of believing in a doctrine which has no Biblical basis. This book excerpt will thoroughly refute such an opinion"

The Bible Hell
"
An excellent short book by Dr. John Wesley Hanson detailing the history of the English word "Hell." He also goes into thorough detail discussing the Greek and Hebrew words, Sheol, Gehenna, Hades and Tartarus"

Bible Threatenings Explained
 
"Some leading selling English Bible translations seem to teach both the concept of everlasting punishment AND universalism, that is, the salvation of all mankind. This book by Dr. John Wesley Hanson shows that those passages in SOME translations that teach Hell have been mistranslated or misinterpreted. Dr. Hanson analyzes each of those passages of Scripture which appear to teach endless punishment proving the original Greek and Hebrew taught something entirely different"  

Time and Eternity
"An excellent short book by G. T. Stevens examining the Greek, Hebrew, Latin words behind our English concepts of time and eternity. It traces how Hebrew words denoting time were changed to the idea of eternity through Jerome's Latin Vulgate"
