Product Description

"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.
