Publisher's Summary: Exposing a 1500-year-old myth about hell! What happens to us after we die? For the first 500 years after Christ, most Christians believed that God would ultimately redeem all of his creation. Hell was real, but it had a positive purpose, and it didn't last forever. Then beliefs changed. For the past 1500 years we've been told that most of the billions of people who have lived on this earth will remain separated from the love and mercy of God for all eternity. The moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, sons and daughters, relatives and friends who have not exhibited the "right kind" of faith here in this life will suffer in hell forever. But is that really true? The idea of hell as a place of never-ending suffering is not taught in the Bible. It's a myth that was forced on the Christian church by a power-hungry Roman emperor, was supported by a highly respected but misinformed cleric, and has endured for centuries because it became the status quo. Heaven's Doors exposes that myth. It explains both historically and biblically how Jesus Christ succeeded in his mission to seek and save the lost. And it shows how the doors to heaven really are wider than you ever believed!

Critic Reviews: George Sarris has performed a splendid service in tracing the Christian view of universal salvation, which has deep roots in the Bible and in the church fathers...The book is gracefully written, deeply thoughtful, and based on careful scholarship; it deserves the widest audience. (David Konstan, professor of classics, New York University; professor emeritus of classics and comparative literature, Brown University) "I really, really, really enjoyed your writing style. You communicate in a way that draws others into the subject, and your views don't stomp on the considerations of others. It is engaging and friendly, and you use your real life circumstances and communications to illustrate your points." (Todd Hoyt, CEO, eChristian/christianaudio.com) Excellent job. So well done...this could be the breakthrough book among Evangelicals and conservative Catholics especially...It is readable, clear, focused and free of red herrings and distracting baggage. (Brian McLaren, pastor, author, speaker)

Members Reviews: A passionate, articulate, and accessible evangelical case for universalism Though he has long been a great defender of the traditional doctrine of hell, J.I. Packer once conceded: âIf you want to see folk damned, there is something wrong with you!â That statement has always stuck with me because it implies every Christian should hope universalism is true even if they believe it is false. The Messenger But should they believe it is false? George Sarris seeks to challenge that belief in his new book "Heavenâs Doors: Wider than you ever believed!" At first blush, Sarris is a surprising defender for universalism. He is neither an old school liberal nor an emergent/emerging hipster. Nor, for that matter, is he the kind of Eastern Orthodox theologian who defies the simplistic liberal/conservative continuum so beloved in the West. Rather, Sarris is a traditional conservative evangelical and his credentials in this regard are impeccable. Donât believe me? Well consider this: he is the voice narrating Zondervanâs audio edition of the NIV.
