摘要

This article focuses on addressing the ‘Free Will Objection’ to universalism (apokatastasis (‘restoration’))—a view held by individuals such as St. Gregory of Nyssa. The objection stems from an apparent conflict between necessary universal salvation and libertarian free will, which requires the genuine ability to reject God. Using Robert Kane’s theory of libertarian freedom, I demonstrate how all rational beings can necessarily yet freely develop characters that ultimately choose divine reconciliation, thus maintaining both the inevitability of universal salvation and authentic free will.
