"Old South Church’s 16th senior pastor was raised in Scotland by pious, Calvinistic parents. In his 1925 autobiography, Gordon recounts a childhood conversation in which he asked his mother, "If I should try all my life to be good, do you think I should get into heaven? " His mother answered, "No; not if Predestination is against you, many are called but few are chosen. " According to Gordon, this conversation steered him away from a life of faith for many years. While he would later return to his Christian faith, George Gordon wrote that his sense of mission stemmed from his desire to wrestle with and address what he labeled the "Calvinistic Scheme" (Gordon 1925). From the very beginning of his 43-year ministry at Old South, George Gordon’s theological views set him apart from many of his predecessors and local colleagues.

Most notably, Gordon refused to profess a belief in eternal punishment or in a theory of limited atonement. After finally being installed, George Gordon would go on to preach many sermons and several books that spoke of this kinship of God, Christ, and humankind.

Gordon’s writings and sermons were so influential that more than one religious historian has argued that he transformed the theological landscape of Puritan New England. (Olson 1944 & Youngs 1988)."
