This book by Hosea Ballou traces the history of universalism, the belief that all souls will eventually be saved, from the time of the apostles to the fifth general council in 553 A.D. Ballou argues that universalism is a natural outgrowth of the Christian belief in a loving and merciful God, and he provides evidence from the Bible and other religious texts to support his claims.
