Excerpt from A Defence, Containing the Author's Renunciation of Universalism, Explained and Enlarged: The Notices and Aspersions of Universalist Editors, Answered and Repelled; Arguments and Principles of Universalists, Examined and Exploded, and Religion and Revelation Vindicated, Against Skepticism and Infidelity
My ideas in this book are original, as I have never read. Much against universalism. How far my viewshow accord with those of any body of people, I scarcely know, having never read their systems much but I have given my own views; and no body is responsible for the ideas but myself. On the other hand, I am responsible for no opinions but such as 1 voluntarily lay before the publick. Let no man accuse me of holding doctrines, or saying things that I have never written.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a critique of universalism, a religious doctrine that asserts the ultimate salvation of all souls. The author, once an advocate of universalism, challenges the doctrine's scriptural basis, arguing that it lacks sufficient textual support. Exploring themes of morality, the author contends that universalism fails to provide a compelling incentive for virtuous behavior, offering no effective restraint against vice. The book delves into the historical context of universalism, tracing its evolution within Christianity. It also examines the practical implications of the doctrine, questioning its influence on personal conduct and social ethics. By presenting a reasoned critique of universalism, this book encourages readers to engage in thoughtful reflection on the nature of salvation and the interplay between faith and morality.
