Title: Long on Speculation, Short on Scripture
Product review: This book is well-written and engaging, a remarkable thing if you consider that it was written by two men. They speak seamlessly with one voice, though, and do not distinguish which is writing at any particular time.The arguments against the traditional Christian view of heaven and hell and in favor of universalism are rooted not in Scripture, but rather experience. Many passages are quoted, but generally out of context. The writers explain that it really doesn't matter to them what the Bible says on these or other issues anyway, as experience is their ultimate authority.This subjective placing of experience as the ultimate religious authority is what really caused their faith in the Trinity, Incarnation and sacrificial Atonement to unravel, and not Universalism.For a better study of the subject from a biblical perspective, see "The Inescapable Love of God" by Thomas Talbott.
