About this title

Synopsis

The Columbian Miscellany is a collection of religious and moral writings compiled by Abner Kneeland, originally drawing from Philadelphian magazines published in London in the late 1780s. The 1803 New Hampshire imprint presents Kneeland’s Introduction and selections that argue for universal salvation and the restoration of all beings through Jesus Christ, alongside longer sermons, dialogues, and meditations on Christian doctrine. The volume includes the Introduction by Kneeland, pieces such as A Serious Address to the Youth, The Evidences of Christianity, The Death of Christ, The Gospel is therefore good news to all, and numerous homilies, hymns, and dialogues advocating Universalism and the ultimate reconciliation of all things. It also contains reflections on the perishability of earthly life, the immortality of the soul, and exhortations toward brotherly love and virtuous living. The work embodies early American Universalist thought and aims to promote true religion and virtue through a broad spectrum of religious discourse.
