Nomad Podcast Sharon Baker - For the Love of God, Can We Believe in Hell? (N70)
Sharon Baker is a theologian and author of the controversial Razing Hell. Sharon takes issue with the traditional understanding of a violent atonement and hell, and instead holds to universal reconciliation where all people are refined by God's love.
“I don’t believe that God desired the violence of the cross. I think that the violence of the cross was our doing. It was a human endeavour and not required or desired by God at all, because that in itself is a grave injustice. And I don’t think God is unjust.” - Sharon Baker
