Review # 1 was written on 2013-06-07 00:00:00 John Bennet Hick's book is very enlightening to anyone interested in Christianity west of the Vatican, mostly because it digs up an old and mostly un-disseminated view of human nature, original sin and and ultimate redemption, which is essentially that humans start out immature but are on a path to linear development (ultimately all will be redeemed). He also takes a lot of time breaking down Augustinian theology before building up the Irenaean eastern one. I tend to agree with him that this view is underrepresented in Christianity today. I could say a lot more about this, but I'd rather leave it at that for now.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-05-10 00:00:00 Eliza Layman I think when I'm old and broken and looking back on my life, Mr. Hick's book will be one of the ones that I consider having the largest impact on my life. It really struck a chord in my soul and answered a lot of questions about my faith that have been bothering me for a while. This book was a blessing. Theodicy has been a Christian problem for as long as The Church has existed. In my mind Mr. Hick solved the problem. Really not exaggerating. Give it a try you won't regret it.
