In this groundbreaking book, Clark Pinnock and Robert Brow offer a fresh but profoundly biblical understanding of God, humanity, sin, salvation and the church. They insist that the gospel is news about divine grace and restoration. Still, they admit, "This news can be read in different ways. It can even be made to sound like bad news for most people." Instead, Pinnock and Brow root what they call creative love theism in 1 John 4:8 - "Whoever does not love does not know God, for God is love." They present a gospel that can be welcomed, emphasizing God not as a judge demanding legal settlement but as a father seeking to restore relationship with his estranged creatures. Unbounded Love mounts a powerful case for a truly evangelical (that is, good news) theology. It will spark debate, reconsideration - and perhaps even praise of God. Annotation Pinnock and Brow offer a fresh, profoundly biblically understanding of God, humanity, sin, salvation and the church. Rejecting the centrality of deterministic and legalistic categories for describing God's action through Christ, they assert that God is less like a judge demanding legal settlement than like a father seeking to restore relationships with his estranged children.
