What drives different Christian perspectives on hell and eternal destiny?
Until the Last One's Found examines this complex theological terrain through a systematic exploration of both traditional views and universal reconciliation. Author Curt Parton begins with familiar ground, acknowledging traditional beliefs about hell before investigating the biblical arguments for other perspectives on salvation's scope.
Written for everyday believers rather than academics, this Until the Last One’s Found allows readers to engage with different theological viewpoints while maintaining deep respect for scripture.
