Item description from seller

and the conditions of human immortality. xv, 583 p.; 22.5 cm. `The first intimation that the older orthodoxy was being challenged was the appearance of Edward White's Life in Christ in 1846. White, like Robert Browning, had been brought up under the rigidly orthodox ministry of George Clayton at York Street, Walworth. He was horrified during his youth by the doctine, as expounded by his minister, that God had created countless numbers of human beings that were destined to suffer eternal punishment.

They would not be tortured eternally. In other words, White rejected the Platonic doctrine of inherent immortality.' (R.

Not only was White attacked from the orthodox side by Charles Haddon Spurgeon but from the Universalist side by his fellow ministers Baldwin Brown and H. H. Dobney. White won many converts, the most distinguished of whom was R. W. Dale.' (ibid., p. 265) Good lt. edgeworn orig. green cloth, inner hinges shaken.…
