This work analyses and evaluates Jurgen Moltmann's model of
universal salvation and its relation to his understanding of the
redemption, or eschatological fulfilment, of time. For Jurgen
Moltmann, Hell is the nemesis of Hope. The 'Annihilation of Hell'
thus refers both to Hell's annihilative power in history and to the
overcoming of that power as envisioned by Moltmann's distinctive
theology of the cross in which God becomes 'all in all' through
Christ's descent into Godforsakenness. The negation of Hell and the
fulfilment of history are inseparable. Attentive to the overall
contours and dynamics of Moltmann's thinking, especially his zimzum
doctrine of creation, his eschatologically oriented philosophy of
time, and his expanded understanding of the nature-grace
relationship, this study asks whether the universal salvation that
he proposes can honour human freedom, promise vindication for those
who suffer, and do justice to biblical revelation. As well as
providing an in-depth exposition of Moltmann's ideas, The
Annihilation of Hell also explores how a 'covenantal universalism'
might revitalise our web of beliefs in a way that is attuned to the
authorising of Scripture and the spirituality of existence. If
divine and human freedom are to be reconciled, as Moltmann
believes, the confrontation between Hell and hope will entail
rethinking issues that are not only at the centre of theology but
at the heart of life itself.
