I was recently asked to give a sermon on rethinking hell at a lovely little Anglican church named St Wilfrid's, and I thought to share it with you, if only to help spark some thought and further conversation about what has turned into a fairly controversial topic in recent years. I was so grateful to be received with such tremendous kindness and generosity of spirit. Obviously, though, 30 minutes is not enough to cover everything that needs to be covered on the subject, and several people reminded me afterwards of what I'd left out. Because I'm an academic, though, I was well aware of what I could not cover. So, if you're interested in wrestling more with this topic, there are a few books I would highly recommend: Thomas Allin's "Christ Triumphant" (edited by Robin Parry), Gregory McDonald's (Robin Parry's) "The Evangelical Universalist," Brad Jersak's "Her Gates Will Never Shut," Hans Urs von Balthasar's "Dare We Hope," and Thomas Talbot's "The Inescapable Love of God."
