III. Boston’s Knudson-Growing Rejection of Eternal Torment Theory CFF2 789

A passing word must be given to Dean ALBERT C. KNUDSON, ^{3232) ALBERT C. KNUDSON 1873-1953), Methodist, was trained at Minnesota, Boston, Jena, and Berlin universities. a was professor at oston University School of Theology (1906-1943), and was dean. Author of about eighteen volumes, he stressed the Arminian position.} of the Boston University School of Theology, who states that there is a growing feeling that the notion of eternal punishing is inconsistent with the goodness of God. ^{3333) See Albert C. Knudson, The Doctrine of Redemption, pp. 403, 503.} The Eternal Torment tradition does not adequately take into account the fact of human freedom. And Knudson dissents from the view that if all are not saved, God’s purpose in creation is therefore thwarted-because of this very element of man’s freedom. ^{3434) Ibid., pp. 503ff} CFF2 789.4
