EXPLORING HELL AND HUMAN FREEDOM: AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PHILOSOPHY OF ETERNAL HELL

Abstract

This thesis investigates the philosophical work of Jerry Walls and Thomas Talbott focusing on their debate over the compatibility of universal salvation and human freedom. It assesses their differing definitions of freedom and argues against Walls' view that God cannot save all people because God will respect human freedom. An analysis of the lessons from the two scholars' debate regarding the nature of human freedom as they are relevant to secular philosophy is included.Bachelor of Art
