A fuller title is: "The roles of Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience in journeys towards embracing universalism: An historical exploration of diversity in lived Christian experience." The talk does what it says on the box. It explores the ways in which the four elements of the abovementioned quadrilateral play various inter-connected roles in the diverse pathways that Christians have taken over the centuries into more hopeful eschatologies. It is argued that although one or two elements in the quadrilateral may play a more prominent role for certain individuals, all four will have their place. All the core points are illustrated by examples from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries.
