There is a lot of misinformation about minister and writer John Crowder on the internet. Because John is very playful and entertaining in his approach, many people miss the depth of grace-based, cross-centered theology that he brings to the table.
John Crowder is NOT a universalist. But he does believe in a universal atonement - something that many mainstream Christian denominations agree upon - they often just don't think it through. John aligns primarily with the Trinitarian theological stream on this issue (C.S. Lewis, T.F. Torrance, Karl Barth, Fr. Robert Capon, Dr. C. Baxter Kruger, Dr. Steve McVey, etc.).
John believes that all men were included in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But he does not deny that faith is necessary to engage in the free gift of salvation. John does believe in the existence of hell, but not in the sense that God desires it for any man, or that He predestined folks to go there. John's views on this subject seem more Biblical and orthodox than much of the modern evangelical pop doctrines of today.
Below I have included a few videos to give you a a better grasp on his views. His video on hell is quite lengthy, but well worth the watch as he brings up some perspectives that are pretty mindblowing! Also, if your interest is sparked by these videos below, there is a five-part series on Election that is life-changing, available on John's digital download store.
It is also worth mentioning that folks who don't understand John's Trinitarian views (folks who think he is a universalist) fail to recognize that his ministry has led more people to the Lord in the nation of India by way of evangelism campaigns than probably all of his accusers combined (upward of 200,000 conversions to date - not to mention that he has planted and supports two homes for orphaned children there). Obviously the fruit has to speak for itself. Anyone who looks at this ministry objectively, with a humility to learn and be open minded will benefit greatly from what he teaches.
