Jesus the Everlasting Hope of Humankind

"Don Eckhart has devoted nearly twenty years to a critical question: who can hope to be saved? Shaped by both prophetic dreams and careful research, his answer is that God offers that hope to everyone, whether in this life or the next. His thorough and wide-ranging discussion is both insightful and spiritually sensitive. His arguments deserve consideration by anyone who wrestles with this question or ministers to those who do."


—Brenda B. Colijn, Professor of Biblical Interpretation and Theology, Ashland Theological Seminary





“The author presents a clearly, well-written work which dispels the traditional gloom and doom theology. . . . The book is a wonderful masterpiece of the triumph of the hope and love of Jesus Christ for all. It speaks of the eternal heart of the love of God in Christ poured out for all humankind. The book affirms that no one in this life or in the next will be denied the gift of eternal life and salvation.”


—JoAnn Ford Watson, Professor of Theology and Spiritual Formation, Ashland Theological Seminary





“Eckhart has mined Scripture, church history, and historical theology, and come up with an expansive vision (in every sense of that word) of the salvific work of Christ. In this grounded ‘big picture’ treatise, he offers us a merciful God, a welcoming Savior, and an actively communicating and invigorating Holy Spirit. His book confirms our Christian hope.”


—Rev. Thomas A. Snyder, Adjunct Instructor, Ashland Theological Seminary
