Universalism or Annihilationism?

Hart himself tacitly grants the propriety of this procedure in his rejection of annihilationism. He admits that the language of certain texts could, apart from other considerations, teach the annihilation of the wicked. Yet he emphatically denies that these texts actually teach annihilationism. That view is false on broader considerations to hard the violation of the way. I would say that it overwhelmingly supports the universalist reading.
