Grace Saves All: Christianity and Universal Salvation
David Artman
This podcast is about Christian Universalism — a spirituality which exists at the intersection of Christianity and Universal Salvation. This ancient Christian theology was advocated by prominent Christian leaders in the early centuries of the faith, and it is now enjoying a modern revival. It understands grace to be the effective saving presence of God in the lives of all people, and it anticipates that all persons will finally experience union with God. David Artman, host of the podcast, is the author of Grace Saves All: The Necessity of Christian Universalism. He is an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and holds Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Brite Divinity School at TCU in Ft. Worth, TX.

He argues for a Christ-centered theology that transcends legalism and criticizes harsh historical doctrines. Crowder outlines five pillars supporting universalism, emphasizes God's loving nature in salvation, and interprets biblical judgment as restorative rather than retributive.

Ep. 211 Dr. Leslie Baynes - author "Between Interpretation & Imagination: C.S. Lewis and the Bible" (plus conjecture on how his view about hell might have changed under current scholarship!)
Dr. Leslie Baines, an Associate Professor at Missouri State University and author of Between Interpretation & Imagination, delves into C.S. Lewis's nuanced views on the Bible and hell. She discusses the scarcity of rigorous biblical scholarship on Lewis and highlights key influences on his thought, including George MacDonald and Charles Gore.
