Excerpt from A Series of Lectures on the Doctrine of Universal Benevolence: Delivered in the Universalist Church, in Lombard Street, Philadelphia, in the Autumn of 1818, and Published at the Request of the Brethren Attending in Said Church
The Jews, also, notwithstanding the oracles of God were committed to them, yet as the true light was re vealed to them but in part only, and that, through the medium of types and shadows, which often were mista ken, and with which they. Had mingled their vain tradi tions, (their leaders, also, teaching for doctrine the com mandments of men,) had but very little knowledge of eter nal life. And as they rejected their own Messiah, even Is sus Christ, whom God hath sent, so this blindness in part has happened unto them and, evento this day, they are by no means in the enjoyment of that life which is eternal.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of lectures delivered in 1818 that challenge prevailing Christian beliefs and explore a radical vision of God's love and universal benevolence. Rooted in the burgeoning Universalist movement, the author challenges the traditional notion of eternal damnation and offers a compelling argument for the ultimate salvation of all humanity. Drawing upon scripture and classical philosophy, the book delves into the nature of God, the relationship between God and humankind, and the consequences of sin. The author argues that God is inherently love, and that this love extends to all creation, regardless of their actions. By rejecting the idea of divine punishment, the book presents a profoundly hopeful vision of a universe governed by infinite compassion. The book's central argument for universal reconciliation offers a powerful and enduring message of hope and redemption that resonates with readers seeking a more expansive understanding of God's grace.
