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.

The podcast explores the idea of universal salvation within a conservative Christian context, debunking misconceptions. It discusses the reasons in favor of universalism rooted in core Christian teachings and the perception of it as either conservative or liberal. The chapter also emphasizes the value of individuals as beings made in the image of God and explores the concept of freedom in relation to salvation. The connections between Lutheran theology and universalism are explored, as well as the challenges faced by an academic book on universalism in gaining wide distribution and popularity. The chapter also discusses the recent philosophical interest in universalism in Christianity and the importance of combining theology and philosophy for a coherent interpretation of scripture.
