Mystical Views of God & Salvation

Why are mystical versions of Christianity so popular in our day among academic types or popular writers and celebrities such as Rob Bell or Oprah Winfrey? What is the history of this speculative view of God, and what are the implications of this approach on the way we think about heaven, hell and ultimate redemption? Michael Horton discusses these questions with St. Louis University professor Michael McClymond, author of The Devil’s Redemption, A New History and Interpretation of Christian Universalism.
