263 . Taranto claims that Gregory regarded the doctrine of universal salvation as a product of reasoning, but not revealed by the Bible. He cites De mort. 20–21, where Gregory, after describing the eventual restoration as one and the same light and grace shining in all humans after the destruction of evil and death, observes that “the logos ” provides an important teaching concerning the salvific destiny of the dead. Here logos means, not “rational argument,” as Taranto surmises, but, “Scripture” (a meaning that it often bears in Gregory): for Gregory has just adduced 1 Corinthians 15:26, 1 Thessalonians 4:13, and John 17: these provide the teaching to which Gregory refers. That universal salvation is based on the Bible for Gregory is indeed manifest from his commentary on 1 Corinthians 15:28, the main passage in which he grounds this doctrine together with John 17.
