Patristic universalism is a major spiritual tradition dating back to the Apostles of Jesus Christ and the ancient Christian church.

What is Patristic Universalism? It is the belief that God will not abandon or forsake His beloved creation, that all creation will be reconciled to their creator. Nothing can prevent anyone from being redeemed. God is unwilling that any perish, but is willing to wait for all to come to repentance. 

From the earliest days of the church, there have always been three views on what happens to those who die without knowing Christ...damnation, annihilation, and restoration. Patristic Universalism presents scriptural, philosophical, and historical support for the restoration view.
