The Problem Posed by the Severe Sayings Attributed to Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 February 2009
Extract
In his book In the end, God… Dr J. A. T. Robinson argues for luniversalism from two myths of the end, one taken from Matthew 25.31–46 and the other from Paul (London: James Clarke, 1950, p. 99 f). If the two myths were both taken from the sayings of Jesus his argument would be immeasurably stronger, though it is fair to add that he does see them both being represented in the present in John 3.17–18 (p. ioo).2
