Thirteen Universalist clergymen

"Thirteen Universalist clergymen" is the collective attribution of The Latest Word of Universalism, a volume of thirteen essays by thirteen ministers of the American Universalist church, first published in 1878 and reissued in the early 1880s. Its contributors included J. H. Tuttle, G. H. Emerson, A. G. Gaines, J. Smith Dodge, E. C. Sweetser, and Asa Saxe, and the essays together presented a contemporary statement of Universalist history and belief for a general readership.

A collaborative statement of Universalist belief near the denomination's hundredth year: thirteen essays by thirteen ministers, each treating one doctrine — God, Christ, the Bible, sin, salvation, punishment, the life to come. Intended to show inquirers what Universalists actually taught after a century of controversy, it is a useful snapshot of the denomination's settled mainstream at the height of its influence.
