I am a Universalist

Here is another quote from my forthcoming book The Idolatry of God. In the chapter from which this quote is lifted I contrast the conservative and liberal versions of universalism (both of which affirm a content laden view of truth) with the universalism opened up by Paul in his description of Christians as the ‘trash of the world’ who dwell in the ‘neither/nor.’ Just as pirates were known as ‘villains of all nations’ (and thus welcomed all to join), my book explores how those who are caught up in the event testified to in Christ are not slaves to any actually existing cultural, political or religious tribe. For more on the connection between pirates and Christianity check out Kester Brewin’s book Mutiny.
