Universalism

Universalism: The Prevailing Doctrine Of The Christian Church During Its First Five Hundred Years is a book written by John Wesley Hanson and published in 1899. The book explores the concept of universalism in Christianity during the first five hundred years of the church's existence. The author argues that universalism was the prevailing doctrine during this period, and that it was only later that the idea of eternal damnation became more widely accepted. The book provides a comprehensive historical analysis of the development of universalism in the early Christian church, drawing on a range of sources including early Christian writings, church councils, and the works of early Christian theologians. The author also examines the reasons why universalism fell out of favor in later centuries, and the impact that this had on the development of Christian theology. Overall, Universalism: The Prevailing Doctrine Of The Christian Church During Its First Five Hundred Years is a fascinating exploration of an important aspect of Christian history and theology.With Authorities And Extracts.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
