Welcome to Truly Good News.

A journey through faith, science, and the wideness of God’s grace

I’m Rev. Lucus Levy Keppel – a Presbyterian pastor and author exploring Christian Universalism.

This site accompanies my upcoming book, Truly Good News, and gathers together videos and writings about grace, reconciliation, and the love that holds the world together.

My work grows from the Reformed tradition, and from the conviction that God’s love truly includes everyone.

Whether you come with questions, convictions, or curiosity, I’m grateful you’re here!

drawn by grace, held by love.

(Thanks, Elana, for giving me this corner of the site!)

New series launch!I just released Episode 1 of Grace Notes, a short-form theology series exploring questions about faith, grace, and why I believe the gospel is actually good news for everyone.#GraceNotes #TrulyGoodNews #ChristianUniversalism #ProgressiveChristian
