The Doctrine of Eternal Hell Torments Overthrown

The oldest text in this collection's lineage: Samuel Richardson, a London Particular Baptist of Cromwell's era, published this attack on the doctrine of eternal torments in 1660. Thomas Whittemore rediscovered and republished it for American readers in 1833, delighted to show that the denial of endless hell had seventeenth-century Baptist credentials. It stands with Jeremiah White's Restoration of All Things as evidence of universalism's deep English roots.
