In theology, apocatastasis (/æpoʊkəˈtæstəsɪs/; occasionally spelled apokatastasis) is the restoration of creation to a condition of perfection.[1][2] In Christianity, it is a form of Christian universalism that includes the ultimate salvation of everyone—including the damned in Hell and the Devil.[3][4][5] The New Testament (Acts 3:21) refers to the "apocatastasis of all things", although this passage is not usually understood to teach universal salvation.[6] This heresy was condemned by the Second Council of Nicaea (at definition 18), which, for the same reason, also condemned as heretics Origen, Evagrius Ponticus, and Didymus the Blind.[7]
