Description

A new edition of the classic that brought Christian Universalism to America.The Everlasting Gospel was written by the German pastor Georg Klein-Nicolai of Friessdorf, Germany, under the pseudonyme of Paul Siegvolck. The German title was "Das von Jesu Christo dem Richter der Lebendigen und der Todten, aller Creatur zu predigen befohlene ewige Evangelium, etc." The English translation, presenting a somewhat simplified version of the text with fewer references, Greek words, etc., was first published by Christopher Sower in Germantown in 1753. It was later published by Elhanan Winchester in London in 1792. It is this edition which is here republished in a slightly updated version.The arguments put forth in the Everlasting Gospel are strongly Biblical and follows the strain of thought recognizable in authors from the Early Church such as Clement of Alexandria, Origen and Gregory of Nyssa, who saw other-wordly torments as temporary and intended for the restitution of the sinner. As such, the Everlasting Gospel remains an interesting and relevant historical witness to the development, influence and reception of the classical Christian doctrine of apokatastasis.This edition includes the original preface to the English translation by Elhanan Winchester. Brought by immigrants the Everlasting Gospel landed on American soil, where its teachings gained influence, as universalism became widespread in the 18th and 19th centuries. Elhanan Winchester (1751-1797) was a Baptist preacher and a co-founder of the United States General Convention of Universalists and the Society of Universal Baptists. Inspired by the teachings of the Everlasting Gospel, Winchester believed that God's love would finally restore everything to its proper place, and argued that the two dominant theological positions of protestantism, Armenianism and Calvinism, in combination leads to the belief that God is both capable and willing of saving all.This edition has a slightly modernized American English language, updated formatting and an index of Biblical references. All footnotes have been added by the editor. The text is based on a digitized version from the Select Theological Library (1840), made by Scot Wells.
