The Wider Hope: Universalists Beyond the Denomination

Universal Restitution, a Scripture Doctrine

Universal restitution a Scripture doctrine : this prov'd in several letters wrote on the nature and extent of Christ's kingdom ; wherein the Scripture passages, falsly alleged in proof of the eternity of hell torments, are truly translated and explained

An early Anglican statement of the universal restitution, argued in a series of letters to a friend and published anonymously in 1761 — catalogued under the name of Stonhouse. Emerging from the circles touched by the Methodist revival, it shows the doctrine surfacing within the established church a generation before Winchester preached it in London, and it was read and cited by the English universalists who followed.
