Excerpt from book: Many other important considerations, reader, might be suggested here on the threshold of this investigation, serving to show- how very small is the probability, that the dogma of ceaseless suffering' can in the issue be regarded as of scriptural authority; but the above, it is believed, are quite sufficient for this purpose. Of this, however, you must be judge for yourself, Prove'all things; hold fast that which is good. UNIVERSAL SALVATION DIRECTLY AND POSITIVELY PROVEN FROM THE AT TRIBUTES OF GOD. 1. GOD IS LOVE.?(1 John, iv. 8.)?This proposition has been much declaimed upon, by those too, who, while they admitted its truth in terms, denied it in fact. It is now introduced as a subject for careful argumentation. In this business we shall not need those rhetorical embellishments which, at the same time that they amuse the fancy, often make it an instrument in deceiving the judgment: the less our argument is encumbered with these the better it will be, because the more intelligible. As has been well remarked (by Adam Clarke) God is never said, in the scriptures, to be Justice, or Patience, or Holiness, but he is frequently in one form or another said to be fece. Hence it is inferred that love is his moral nature, and the basis of all his other attributes?love is God: to say that God is just, or holy, or unchanging, is the same as to say that infinite love is characterised by these qualities; to say that all creatures throughout all space are in God's hands, and subject to his control, is in effect to say they are in love's hands, and subject to its control: in short, God and love are so essentially identical, that the name of each may be, and often is, employed for designating the other; any predicate of the one will answer equally well as a predicate of the othe...

Download or read book Universalism Examined and Refuted written by Isaac Backus and published by Trumpet Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains Three books against Universalism. This doctrine became widely spread in the mid 1700s from America to England. So it became necessary to refute it. The Doctrine of Universal Salvation Examined and Refuted By Isaac Backus (1782) and UNIVERSALISM: A Modern Invention, and Not According to Godliness By Andrew Royce (1839) and A Series of Letters to a Universalist, by Philemon R. Russell, Pastor of the Christian Church in Fall River, Mass. (1842) Their response to the doctrine was first with sermons, then replied to by the universalist teachers, then their reply was also refuted by both of these books. Here is the first paragraph of Book One: SOLOMON, after a vast and extensive search into the nature of things, says, "this only have I found, that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions." How many he could not tell, nor any other man. Had the inhabitants of New-England been told, ten years ago, that said doctrine would soon be preached up, and have an extensive spread among them, who could have believed it? Yet this is now become a notorious fact, by the following means: Mr. John Murray, from England, having preached for some time in places south of New-York, came from thence into New-England in the fall of the year 1772; and has preached in these parts to the present time. For a while he concealed his design under many good words and fair speeches; and when he began plainly to preach general salvation, his greatest admirers rather wished than believed the doctrine to be true. At length they procured the re-printing of a pamphlet from London, in 1779, which was privately dispersed in the country, and has entangled many souls. Since which Mr. Elhanan Winchester, who was born near Boston, and, by his itinerate preaching from thence to South-Carolina, had obtained an extensive fame for being a powerful and successful preacher of the gospel, has fallen in with said doctrine, under another form, which has caused its influence to extend much farther than it had before. And its advocates now glory in it as unanswerable, because a distinct answer thereto has not appeared among us. A sight of this, and not hearing that any others were engaged therein, has constrained me to offer my mite in the affair; hoping that it may encourage and excite others to step forward in the cause of truth to better purpose. Here is the first paragraph of Book Two: The history of the following work is briefly as follows: In the summer of 1837, I prepared and preached to my people two discourses, in which I attempted to prove that Universalism is entirely a modern invention, and in its tendencies entirely opposed to godliness. These discourses, by the unanimous advice of the Association to which I belong, were, in the summer of 1838, given to the public. Their favorable reception, the advice of several prudent and enlightened men, together with the necessity of publishing something in reply to certain "Reviews" by Universalists, have induced me to publish another edition in the present form-a form in which it was thought they would be more acceptable to readers in general. The Second Part, it will be seen, consists of an examination of certain reviews of the First. The First Part is, in substance, the same as when originally published. A few paragraphs, with some notes, have been added: two or three which were deemed unnecessary, have been expunged, and such other revision made as criticism required. Here is the Preface to Book 3: This series of Letters was first published in the Christian Herald. They are now presented to the Christian Public, in the present form, in compliance with the request of the Rockingham Christian Conference. This little volume is designed to be an antidote for the diffusive poison of Modern Universalism. The author professes to be thoroughly acquainted with this whole system of error. The folly, absurdity and infidelity of Modern Universalism, the sophistry and outrage

This book was released on 2017 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A panel of top scholars presents the first comprehensive collection of primary sources from Unitarian Universalist history. This critical resource covers the long histories of Unitarianism, Universalism, and Unitarian Universalism in the United States and around the world, and offers a wealth of sources from the first fifty-five years of the Unitarian Universalist Association. From Arius and Origen to Peter Morales and Rebecca Parker, this two-volume anthology features leaders, thinkers, and ordinary participants in the ever-changing tradition of liberal religion. Each volume contains more than a hundred distinct selections, with scholarly introductions by leading experts in Unitarian Universalist history. The selections include sermons, theologies, denominational statements, hymns, autobiographies, and manifestos, with special attention to class, cultural, gender, and sexual diversity. Primary sources are the building blocks of history, and A Documentary History of Unitarian Universalism presents the sources we need for understanding this denomination’s past and for shaping its future.

Download or read book An Introduction to the Unitarian and Universalist Traditions written by Andrea Greenwood and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How is a free faith expressed, organised and governed? How are diverse spiritualities and theologies made compatible? What might a religion based in reason and democracy offer today's world? This book will help the reader to understand the contemporary liberal religion of Unitarian Universalism in a historical and global context. Andrea Greenwood and Mark W. Harris challenge the view that the Unitarianism of New England is indigenous and the point from which the religion spread. Relationships between Polish radicals and the English Dissenters existed and the English radicals profoundly influenced the Unitarianism of the nascent United States. Greenwood and Harris also explore the US identity as Unitarian Universalist since a 1961 merger and its current relationship to international congregations, particularly in the context of twentieth-century expansion into Asia.

Download or read book The Nordic Languages written by Oskar Bandle and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2002 with total page 1086 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The handbook is not tied to a particular methodology but keeps in principle to a pronounced methodological pluralism, encompassing all aspects of actual methodology. Moreover it combines diachronic with synchronic-systematic aspects, longitudinal sections with cross-sections (periods such as Old Norse, transition from Old Norse to Early Modern Nordic, Early Modern Nordic 1550-1800 and so on). The description of Nordic language history is built upon a comprehensive collection of linguistic data; it consists of more than 200 articles written by a multitude of authors from Scandinavian and German and English speaking countries. The organization of the book combines a central part on the detailed chronological developments and some chapters of a more general character: chapters on theory and methodology in the beginning and on overlapping spatio-temporal topics in the end.
Download or read book Varieties of Christian Universalism written by David W. Congdon and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian universalism has become a subject of fierce debate in recent years. Numerous works have been published on the topic, and it can be difficult for readers to recognize the breadth of possible approaches. While universal salvation is often boiled down to (and dismissed as) a single idea--that God saves all people--this oversimplification masks the variety of theologies that reach this conclusion in ways that are not always compatible. Christian universalism is actually an umbrella of different theological interpretations of the idea that all people will be saved. In this book, leading experts on universal salvation--David W. Congdon, Tom Greggs, Morwenna Ludlow, and Robin A. Parry--provide a concise guide to four distinct approaches: patristic, evangelical, post-Barthian, and existential. The contributors, who have each written extensively on Christian universalism, highlight distinct approaches that emphasize different theological values. The book will be useful as a textbook for students of theology, especially those training for ministry, and as a resource for anyone seeking a more well-rounded understanding of Christian universalism.
