Must All Be Saved? A Kierkegaardian Response To Theological Universalism, Jack E. Mulder
Must All Be Saved? A Kierkegaardian Response To Theological Universalism, Jack E. Mulder
Faculty Publications
In this paper, I consider how a Kierkegaardian could respond critically to the question of strong theological universalism, i.e., the belief that all individuals must eventually be reconciled to God and experience everlasting happiness. A Kierkegaardian would likely reject what Thomas Talbott has called "conservative theism," but has the resources to mount a sustained attack on the view that all individuals must experience everlasting happiness. Some have seen that Kierkegaard has some potential in this regard, but a full Kierkegaardian response to strong theological universalism has yet to be given. In this paper, I give such an account.
