In this presentation I share my personal thoughts and conclusions about the meaning of the Greek word aion and especially the adjective aionios. In order to understand the ancient doctrine of apokatastasis we do need accurate translations of the bible and since no translation can be perfect there is always room for improvement. In my journey to understand why the early Greek speaking church fathers didn't believe in eternal punishment this study was very beneficial to and I hope these insights will be helpful to you as well.
