Excerpt from Letters to Rev. Moses Stuart: Associate Professor of Sacred Literature, in the Theological Seminary at Andover
The first thing, which staggered my faith in the doc trine of endless punishment, was reading that paragraph of Mr. Stuart's letters to Dr. Charming Quoted in my first letter. His statements, I was unable to controvert, and the texts on which they were founded, seemed to support them. This gave rise to the three first letters, and as the reader will see, they were written to solicit from Mr. Stuart some explanation, and how he reconcil ed his statements with this doctrine. As he had shaken my faith in it, I thought I had some claim on him to shy something to reestablish it.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a series of letters between a minister and an individual questioning their faith in the face of the minister's comments. The author had been brought up to believe in endless punishment as a tenet of his Christian faith until reading a book in which the minister argued that universal salvation would be the outcome. The author reached out to the minister to request an explanation of how this claim could be squared with the dominant views of hell, and began to doubt his own beliefs once he could not get a satisfactory answer. The author's doubts are outlined and presented through the lens of biblical passages, challenging common interpretations and presenting alternative meanings. The author invites the reader to examine the concept of an all-loving God who would condemn his creations to endless torment and to question whether such a doctrine is truly in keeping with the teachings of Christ.
