  • Not to be confused with the Christianity based "Universalism" religion of Vidkun Quisling. Christian Universalism is a set of theological beliefs about God, Christ, and the origin and destiny of the human soul, emphasizing the unconditional parental love of God and God's plan to redeem, restore, and transform all people through Christ. This spiritual belief system has existed in various forms at various times during the past 2000 years. Christian Universalists claim that their beliefs were the most common interpretation of Christianity in Early Christianity, prior to the 6th century. Today it is regarded as a heretical view of the Gospel by most Christian denominations. However, a substantial minority of Christians from a diversity of denominations and traditions appear to believe in the tenets of this belief system, such as the reality of an afterlife without the existence of an eternal hell. Christian Universalism is not the same thing as Unitarian Universalism. In fact, only a small percentage of Unitarian Universalists are Christian. There is currently no single denomination uniting Christian Universalists, but a few denominations teach some of the principles of Christian Universalism or are open to them. In 2007, the Christian Universalist Association was founded to serve as an ecumenical umbrella organization for churches, ministries, and individuals who believe in Christian Universalism.
  • Universalister (av lat. universalis, "allmän") är en teologisk riktning som funnits under hela kristendomens historia, men som idag betraktas som kättersk av majoriteten av de kristna kyrkorna. Den har fått sitt namn på grund av läran om alla människors slutliga frälsning och "alltings återställelse". Under kristendomens första århundraden förfäktade majoriteten av de teologiska skolorna universalism. Genom reformationen vann universalismen nya anhängare. Inom såväl anabaptismen som herrnhutismen var universalismen allmänt spridd. Den kristna universalismens moderne grundläggare var John Murray, som kom till Boston 1770 och 1774 bildade den första universalistiska församlingen, i Gloucester, Massachusetts. Hans verk fortsattes från 1790 av predikanten Hosea Ballou, vars avhandling om försoningen av universalisterna betraktas som epokgörande. Under inflytande från unitariska kretsar har läroåskådningen så småningom vunnit en mera rationalistisk prägel, än den ursprungligen hade.
