In his history of the early Christian church, John Wesley Hanson
advances the view that Universalism - the belief that all humankind
will ascend to heaven - was the initial, accepted doctrine of
Christianity. A methodically argued and superbly written treatise
which cites various pieces of evidence written and artistic, this
book presents the various creeds of early Christianity in a manner
vivid and engaging. The author for instance demonstrates how
notions such as endless punishment were a later addition in deep
contrast with the earlier Gnostic era teachings. The first
centuries of the Christian church were filled with transition and
change. The earliest Bible and saint-written texts were in Greek;
it was only after the conversion of Emperor Constantine that
Christians - liberated from Rome's persecutions - began to write
their texts in Latin. This linguistic change alone was, according
to Hanlon, the root of great upheaval.
