The standard life of the co-founder of American Universalism. Stone follows Winchester from his New England Baptist beginnings through his sensational Philadelphia ministry — where his embrace of universal restoration cost him his pulpit — his London years preaching to large congregations and befriending reformers, and his final itinerant decade in America. It preserves letters, anecdotes, and firsthand recollections of a man whose warmth and learning even his opponents conceded.
