David Bentley Hart discusses Gregory of Nyssa - Part 3

Why did the wrong guy win?  The Disastrous results of the rivalry between two visions of God

Gospel Conversations welcomes you to the third talk on Gregory of Nyssa between Tony Golsby-Smith and David Bentley Hart. The towering genius of Augustine casts a long and too often dark shadow over western Christianity. What would Christianity have looked like if the equal genius of Gregory had achieved such dominance? Why did the wrong guy win?

Tony and David rove over these questions in a riveting conversation.

Robin Parry's journey to universal salvation

A Christmas gift from Sarah on teaching and the incarnation

She sees these young students as vessels of grace, made in God’s image and at Christmas, as echoes of the ultimate image of God - Christ.

Different journeys to universal salvation

On our last episode Ilaria explained her half of the twin books on A Larger Hope which was the early church. Robin Parry wrote the other half which was about more recent history. Fortuitously we found a great video Robin did highlighting some of these experiences of how prominent theologians and pastors ‘changed their minds’ and embraced the doctrine that God in the end will be ‘all and in all’.
