Until the Last One’s Found: An Introduction to Universal Reconciliation and Restoration
Ebook
Will some people be eternally lost? Or will God save everyone? Can a Christian be biblically faithful and believe in universal salvation? In this clear, easy to read book, Curt Parton examines the scriptural and theological foundations for our traditional view of hell and the case for universal restoration. The eternal conscious torment of the lost isn't nearly as biblically certain as has been thought, and the belief that all will be saved is surprisingly robust scripturally and theologically. Which view is more biblically sound? Which understanding is most in harmony with the gospel?
A growing number of believers are rediscovering the historic Christian belief that God will ultimately reconcile and restore all of his creation to himself through Christ. What does it truly mean for God's love and truth to completely triumph over sin, death, and hell? This book explores the reasons Christians believe what they do about hell, what the Scriptures actually say about hell and judgment, the arguments for and against each view, and how this all relates to the biblical character of God. Discover why many believe God won't relent Until the Last One's Found.
“Curt Parton is a veteran evangelical pastor who is active in church ministry. His book Until the Last One’s Found addresses this important question: What do the Scriptures teach will happen to those who die without believing in Jesus? His reasons for believing that Jesus will restore all to worship God are compelling. I enthusiastically recommend Until the Last One’s Found—especially to evangelical pastors.”
—John Hopler, former director, Great Commission Churches
“Curt Parton has crafted a thoughtful and engaging narrative that eloquently captures the essence of universalism, making it accessible and relevant to contemporary readers. The book is not only a comprehensive study of universalist thought but also a profound meditation on the values of compassion, inclusivity, and the intrinsic worth of every individual.”
—Enrique R. Ramos, dean, General Lutheran Church
