About This Book

A historical survey traces the rise and progress of Christian Universalism in nineteenth-century America, outlining its theological positions and evolving public reception. The author situates the movement amid debates with Unitarianism and rationalism and recounts its participation in reform causes such as abolition, temperance, and peace. Substantial biographical sketches document numerous ministers and their ministerial influence, while chapters address lay and women's organizations, denominational education and publications, and a considered appraisal of the church's contemporary situation and prospects.
