Modern Universalism At War With The Bible And Reason is a book written by Nicholas Van Alstine in 1847. The book is a critique of the Universalist movement, which was gaining popularity in the United States during the 19th century. Van Alstine argues that Universalism, which teaches that all people will eventually be saved, regardless of their beliefs or actions, is incompatible with both the Bible and reason.The book is divided into four parts. In the first part, Van Alstine provides a brief history of Universalism and its main proponents. He argues that Universalism is a departure from traditional Christian doctrine and that it undermines the importance of personal responsibility and the need for repentance.In the second part, Van Alstine examines the Universalist interpretation of several key biblical passages, including those related to judgment and eternal punishment. He argues that Universalism relies on a selective reading of the Bible and that it ignores the clear teachings of Jesus and the apostles.In the third part, Van Alstine critiques the philosophical underpinnings of Universalism, particularly its rejection of the idea of divine justice. He argues that Universalism is based on a flawed understanding of human nature and that it fails to account for the reality of sin and evil in the world.In the final part, Van Alstine offers a defense of traditional Christian doctrine, including the concepts of original sin, repentance, and salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. He argues that these doctrines are not only consistent with the Bible and reason but also provide a more coherent and satisfying worldview than Universalism.Overall, Modern Universalism At War With The Bible And Reason is a thoughtful and well-reasoned critique of the Universalist movement. It offers a compelling defense of traditional Christian doctrine and provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christian theology in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
