Lewis Feuilleteau Wilson Andrews

Lewis Feuilleteau Wilson Andrews (1802-1875), usually cited as L. F. W. Andrews, was an American Universalist minister and newspaper publisher, born in North Carolina into a Presbyterian minister's family. One of the few Universalist preachers active in the antebellum South, he worked in Montgomery, Alabama; Charleston, South Carolina; Baltimore; and several Georgia towns, editing denominational papers such as the Evangelical Universalist alongside secular journals like the Georgia Citizen. His book The Two Opinions, or Salvation and Damnation defended Universalist doctrine against orthodox teaching. He spent his final years based in Americus, Georgia, resuming itinerant preaching across the South until his death.

A southern voice in the controversy: Andrews, a Universalist editor and preacher who worked in Georgia and across the South, sets the 'two opinions' — universal salvation and endless damnation — side by side for the reader's judgment. Universalism was thin on the ground in the South, fought for by scattered editors like Andrews, and this book is one of the movement's principal southern documents.
