Description acceptable. The Eastern Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart called this doctrine “the only possible” credible interpretation of Christianity in a 2019 book titled for First Timothy Chapter 2, Verse 4. Hosea Ballou and George T. Knight controversially argued that this belief was standard in the early church based on the works of Gregory of Nyssa (“NISS-uh”). This doctrine’s opponents cite Jesus’s warning of a “narrow door” or “strait gate” in Luke Chapter 13. This doctrine may be expressed by Origen’s (“origin’s”) idea of “apokatastasis” (“app-oh-kuh-TASS-tuh-sis”). This doctrine, which opposes conditional election and annihilationism, draws on First Corinthians’ statement that “all will be made alive in Christ.” Non-Trinitarianism and this doctrine name a non-creedal faith often called “UU-ism.” For 10 points, what doctrine holds that in the long run, all souls will reach heaven? ■END■
ANSWER: universalism [or universal salvation or universal reconciliation; or descriptions of the belief that all souls will be saved, all souls will be reconciled with God, hell is temporary, or punishment for sin is not eternal; accept going to heaven in place of “saved” until “heaven” is read and prompt afterwards]
