Andrew Jukes

Andrew Jukes (1815-1901) was an English theologian and preacher, born in Bombay and educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. He began as a Church of England curate in Hull, received believer's baptism in 1843, was associated for a time with the Plymouth Brethren, and afterward led an independent congregation in Hull. His book The Second Death and the Restitution of All Things (1867) argued from Scripture for the ultimate restoration of all people and drew wide attention to universalist ideas within Victorian Christianity.

A letter grown into a book: Jukes, once an Anglican deacon and long an independent congregation's teacher in Hull, sets out through typology and the 'ages' of scripture the doctrine that the second death itself serves the final restitution of all. Devout, mystical, and closely argued, it became the devotional classic of Victorian restorationism and cost its author much of his evangelical standing.
