Universalism, or Not? Part One: Jonah
Channel: Tim Bulkeley

In this short series (of two podcasts) I'll describe two things I think I know, two stakes in the ground when I come to think about the topic of "universalism" that has been much discussed (and even more an excuse for slanging matches) recently around the Bible-focused blogs.

Let's start by admitting there are many many things on this topic that we simply do not know. I list a few of the many things that I am firmly agnostic about in a blog post OK, till now I've held my peace, and avoided discussing that Bell fella and universalism. (http://bigbible.org/sansblogue/spirituality/theology/ok-till-now-ive-held-my-peace-and-avoided-discussing-that-bell-fella-and-universalism-but/) But....In this podcast and the next one I'll offer two things that I do know related to this topic. Today from the book of Jonah (for other podcasts that may give a fuller idea about how I read Jonah go here- http://5minutebible.com/category/ot/prophets/jonah-prophets-ot/) and tomorrow from Psalm 69. In both cases the set text is intended to be typical of a major strand of thinking and expression in the Bible.
