The Second Death and the Restitution of All Things: Bible Scripture and Reconciliation with God; the Life of Christ and our Universalist Destiny (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781789872385)

Inspired by scripture and many years of Bible study, scholar Andrew Jukes details the scriptural passages that support the idea that all mankind - even the sinful - will find reconciliation with God.

The very destiny of humankind is something which fascinates many readers, whether or not they subscribe to Christianity. Keen to shed light on the Biblical lore, the author investigates numerous passages which support the idea that every person to ever exist will eventually find himself returned to God. Such universal salvation has its opponents in the theological world; however, Andrew Jukes argues in favor of universalism with an apt study of the Old and New Testaments.

Such essential truth is commonly obscured to everyday believers, a circumstance that Jukes wished to address; so many believers, while familiar with the moral and historical events of the Bible, were unaware of the nature of the Lord's word. With a touch of lament, the author elaborates on how much of the overarching purpose of scripture is lost to the everyday Christian, as passages are thought too obscure or difficult to comprehend. Fortunately, and through much effort, the author published this work so as to demystify universal salvation as the core meaning of scripture.
