Ebenezer Fisher

Ebenezer Fisher (1815-1879) was an American Universalist minister and educator, born in Charlotte, Washington County, Maine. After pastorates in Maine and Massachusetts, including Salem and South Dedham, he became the first head of the Theological School of St. Lawrence University at Canton, New York, guiding the young Universalist seminary from its earliest years until his death in 1879; its graduates in his time included Olympia Brown. His book The Christian Doctrine of Salvation (1869) records his theological teaching, and Fisher Hall at the school was later dedicated to his memory.

The one book by the man who trained a generation of Universalist ministers: Fisher headed the Canton Theological School from its opening in 1858 until his death (his memoir by George Emerson is also in this collection), and this volume distills the doctrine of salvation as he taught it to his students.
