Description
Summary:In his article '‘A Critique of the Doctrine of Universal Salvation', J. D. Bettis criticises the argument that all men will be saved because ‘God's love is both absolutely good and absolutely sovereign' (p. 330). I would like to argue that either some of Bettis's criticisms are confused, or else that he is not using ‘love' in anything like its ordinary sense. I will not attempt a full defence of universalism here, however. In particular, I will not try to defend it against the sort of criticisms Bettis says an Arminian might raise (p. 336).
