Robin Parry is a Christian theologian best known for advocating Christian universalism. His best known book is The Evangelical Universalist, which he wrote under the pseudonym Gregory MacDonald because he had not yet publicly expressed his belief in universalism.[1]
Early career
Parry completed his PhD on Genesis 34 under the supervision of Gordon J. Wenham and Craig Bartholomew. He was a sixth form college teacher in Worcester, UK, for eleven years, before starting work in publishing in 2001 for Paternoster and, since 2010, for Wipf & Stock.
Interviews
After Parry's book Worshipping Trinity was published, Grace Communion International had an extensive interview with him on "the importance of having a trinitarian perspective in our worship".[2]
Due to the controversial nature of his book The Evangelical Universalist, Parry has appeared twice as a guest on Premier Christian Radio.[3]
Speaking engagements
On 29 November 2010, Chawn Hill Church (which does not hold Parry's views) invited him as a special guest to speak on "A Christian Universalism?".[4]
On 3 February 2011, Spurgeon's College hosted a conference[5] titled "Is Universalism an Evangelical Option?". Parry gave a talk titled "Evangelical Universalism: Oxymoron?".[6] Derek Tidball, Nigel Wright and Graham Watts also presented at the conference. For a more detailed review of the conference see the organizer's review[7] or the quite extensive notes on each of the papers.[8]
