The Social Implications of Universalism

The most influential Universalist book of the twentieth century. Skinner, professor of applied Christianity at Tufts, reconceives the old doctrine for the social-gospel era: Universalism's real subject is not the fate of souls after death but the redemption of society here — democracy, labor, peace, the brotherhood implied by the fatherhood of God. This slim manifesto reoriented the denomination's energies for a generation and remains the hinge between its nineteenth-century theology and its modern social liberalism.
