Clip: The Gauntlet Thrown Down by Evangelical Universalists

I watched the first lecture and Q&A in this year’s Annual Moore College Lectures by Dr Paul Williamson. Williamson lectures in Old Testament, Hebrew and Aramaic at Moore College, has written a number of books, and was a contributor to the NIV Study Bible. As background, the lecture began by surveying the views of a number of ancient religions (e.g. Egyptian, Mesopotamian, Zoroastrian, Greek, Roman) before focusing in on Evangelical views.

Of particular interest were his comments (clips below) on Evangelical Universalism—he explains the view and says that, “a gauntlet has been thrown down”. In the Q&A it turns out he has read the second edition of Four Views on Hell, and while he disagrees with Robin Parry, he acknowledges that Parry is a genuine Evangelical seeking to be faithful to Scripture.
