Abstract: This chapter is concerned with the issue of a non-binary or non-separationist soteriology. However, it advocates that divisive approaches to soteriology can only be countered with a particularist agenda. Thus, the chapter seeks to articulate an inclusivist and universalist approach to soteriology, which breaks through binary oppositions, but which is still grounded fully in the particularity of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The work of the Son is understood to be a work for all creation and not a matter of being an insider rather than an outsider. Only in recognizing this universal work of Christ can unhelpful separationism begin to be undermined on its own terms. The chapter seeks to explore further the possibility of a genuinely Christian universalism, giving interpretations and more creative readings of Origen and Barth.
