How is it that the doctrine of eternal conscious torment in hell became the established viewpoint in Western Christianity? And what was the character of alternative perspectives in early Christianity of a person’s and the world’s destiny, especially the doctrine of 'universal restoration' (apokatastasis)? John Toews answers these questions, explaining how the theology of 'universal restoration' was articulated as a firmly biblical doctrine in early Christianity before it was suppressed, and calling for its reconsideration by contemporary Christians, especially those within the evangelical-orthodox tradition. 6
