Is there hope in hell? Was Dante wrong when he warned us to "abandon all hope" upon entering? Can the Bible, tradition, and reason lead us toward a hopeful eschatology-one that dares to believe that hell is not the final word?
This book shows how these pillars of Christian theology can build a strong case for what the author once considered an impossible dream.

'For anyone curious about how the topic of Universalism has been understood (and misunderstood) by Christians over the years, Benjamin McNair Scott's book provides a helpful, interesting and easy-to-read introduction to the topic. There's plenty of food for thought here.' James Webb, author of The Listening Book.
'This book is a welcome addition to the growing chorus of Christian voices who are now seeing that only a universal salvation of all human beings can be the final outcome of the creation of the God revealed in Jesus Christ-a being of love and light in whom there is no darkness at all. Benjamin McNair Scott has given us a readable yet scholarly book that will help many to see that they can fully affirm the core tenets of the Christian faith while at the same time believe with confidence that God will finally bring all of us safely home in Christ.' David Artman, author of Grace Saves All: The Necessity of Christian Universalism.
