That All Shall Be Well

David Bentley Hart's 'That All Shall Be Well' offers a theological and philosophical defense of universal salvation, contending that divine love and justice ultimately restore all creation to communion with God. Hart critiques historical theologies that uphold eternal damnation as incompatible with God’s nature, marshaling scriptural, philosophical, and historical arguments for universalism.

The book provoked widespread discussion about the coherence of eternal punishment and the possibility of final reconciliation, raising questions that Porter addresses in relation to the angelic fall and the possibility of irreconcilable rebellion.
