Universalism in America, Vol. I: 1636–1800

Universalism in America : a history — Vol. I (1636–1800)

The first volume of what remains the fundamental documentary history of American Universalism. Richard Eddy, minister and historian of the General Convention, traces the idea of universal salvation in America from scattered colonial voices through the arrival of John Murray in 1770, the Gloucester church, the Philadelphia conventions, and the movement's consolidation at the century's end. Dense with letters, records, and original documents that survive nowhere else.
