The Salvation of All Men Strictly Examined

by Jonathan Edwards

A rigorous theological examination of universal salvation, written in response to Dr. Charles Chauncy's claim that all humanity will ultimately be saved. Edwards methodically dismantles Chauncy's arguments by examining whether punishment serves only personal reformation, the justice and goodness of endless punishment, and key scriptural passages from Romans, Colossians, Philippians, and Corinthians. The treatise defends the orthodox doctrine of eternal punishment while addressing objections from divine justice, goodness, and human liberty.
