YouTube description

Universal salvation raises the critically important question of how we read the Bibleor 'hermeneutics'. That is what Robin covers in this talk. He sweeps us through a big landscape in three succinct waveseach bigger than the one before. Firstly he confronts the foreground question of biblical textsand he makes the point that everybody has problems here. How do we reconcile God's love with his omnipotence? He then moves onto slightly broader terrainwe need the read texts in their context BUT the meaning of the texts will often be bigger than even the author intended or realised. And finally, he finishes with a new horizon of interpretationthe future. He talks about the 'trajectories' of the biblical canon, which stretch beyond themselves for future generationslike oursto articulate. He uses the development of the doctrine of the Trinity as an example. So this talk is as much about how we read the Bible as how we do or don't find 'universal salvation' in the Bible. This is the second talk from our Hope and Hell conference.
