Great sorrow and unceasing anguish (Romans 9 and 10) -- 6. And so all Israel shall be saved (Romans 11) -- 7. The prophets speak about judgment and hope (Romans 14:11 and the prophets) -- 8. The hope and the Jews (Romans 14 and 15) -- 9. Looking back and looking forward.
"Throughout the centuries the church has taught that the vast majority of humankind will suffer eternal punishment. But is this teaching truly biblical? In this book Jan Bonds scrutinizes church tradition and Scripture - especially Paul's letter to the Romans - and concludes that neither Paul nor the prophets to whom he appeals show any trace of supporting the doctrine of eternal damnation. On the contrary, they tell us that God wants to save all people and that he will not rest until that goal has been achieved"--BOOK JACKET.
