"Who will be saved?" is almost always a question about them, and rarely about us. Thinking itself wrapped securely in the everlasting arms, the church has spent much of its history speculating on whether God will allow anyone else to join the party. One of today's most respected theologians contends that the church should stop asking "Who will be saved?" and ask instead "How is God calling me to participate in the redemption of the world?" Who Will Be Saved? draws on Wesleyan tradition and the teachings of Karl Barth to examine carefully the biblical teaching on the reach and scope of God's salvation while enabling readers to explore and reach their own conclusions on the question of whether all will, in the end, be saved.

I am currently reading through this book with my theology discussion group. We have read through the first four chapters so far and have all really enjoyed the book. Willimon is about as good as it gets when it comes to theology these days and he doesn't pull any punches. I had the opportunity to meet with him recently and could sit and listen to him talk all day. If you're looking for guidance about salvation Who Will Be Saved is a great place to start.

Should be read by all who care about the church. Willimon has offered a great course correction in what we preach and teach.
