Synopsis

The Doom of the Majority of Mankind is a book written by Samuel June Barrows, which explores the concept of universalism and the idea that all people will eventually be saved. Barrows argues that traditional Christian teachings about hell and damnation are inconsistent with the idea of a loving God, and that a belief in universal salvation is a more compassionate and logical approach. The book delves into various theological arguments and examines the history of universalism in Christianity, as well as exploring the implications of this belief for modern society. Overall, The Doom of the Majority of Mankind presents a thought-provoking and challenging perspective on one of the most fundamental questions of religion and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The great discussions in theology, both in England and A merica, during the last few years, have turned mainly upon two points. The first of these is the relation of humanity to the Future Life. In England the discussion on this subject was powerfully stimulated by Canon Farrar sbook, Eternal Hope. In America the debate, rekindled by this book, received a new direction and an independent impulse from the so-called Andover Controversy; one result of which was that an Orthodox clergyman, called to a professorship by the Trustees of that institution, was denied confirmation by the Board of Visitors, because of his charitable speculations on this subject. Candidates for ordination were afterwards excluded from Orthodox pulpits for the same reason. A conspicuous feature in this discussion has related to the destiny of those involving the great majority of the race who have no opportunity in this life to accept or even to become acquainted with the Orthodox theory of salvation. With this question before it, the American Board, at its last annual missionary meeting at Portland, refused to concede that the heathen might have a probation after death, and reafiirmed the motive for missionary work to be the necessity of saving them from an endless hell.
