UPDATE: It’s seems I’ve “over-summarized” MacDonald’s views on Universalism…inadvertently creating, or continuing a misconception about him. Because of time commitments related to just doing a book on misquotes related to Lewis, I will formally update the article below at a later date.

However because it does have a good variety of material in addition to what’s available at their physical location at Wheaton College I felt it worth putting in the spotlight.
