Eastern Orthodox theologian and philosopher who writes with extraordinary literary brilliance — The Beauty of the Infinite, The Experience of God, That All Shall Be Saved, and a highly controversial New Testament translation — arguing for Christian universalism (all will be saved) and classical theism.
Argues that the New Testament, correctly translated and read in its Greek, teaches universal salvation (apokatastasis) — that eternal conscious torment in hell is incompatible with the Christian God of infinite love — while defending classical theism (God as Being Itself, not a being among beings) against both atheism and crude creationism.
