Excerpt from Theology of Universalism: Being an Exposition of Its Doctrines and Teachings, in Their Logical and Moral Relations; Including a Criticism of the Texts, Cited in Proof of the Trinity, Vicarious Atonement, Natural Depravity, a General Judgment and Endless Punishment

Fourth: Citations are also occasionally given from the popular authors of the day. And from teachers of all Christian commun ions; wherein they have expressed their rejection of the doctrine of endless punishment, or their faith in the final restoration This is done for the purpose of showing that this faith alone feeds the great hunger of the human heart; or, as Olshausen says, that the feeling is deeply rooted in noble minds, and is the expres sion of a heartfelt desire for a perfect harmony of the creation. The testimonies reveal the fact that belief in this final harmony of the moral universe, or a tendency to belief, is the natural fruit age of large and liberal study, of a generous literary and scientific culture.

It is only justice to the author to add, that it is not pretended that the volume is a thorough treatise on the various subjects discussed; but an attempt only to indicate the way, and to show their natural and dogmatic relations. And though it is not all that was wished or sought, he sends it forth with a prayer for the divine approval and blessing; and with an humble hepe that it may be useful in promoting among men the knowledge, and love, and practice of the truth.
