On Calvinism by William Hull
"On Calvinism" by William Hull is a theological treatise written in the early 19th century. The work critically examines the principles and implications of Calvinism, focusing on its perceived dangers to the Church and Christian doctrine. Hull aims to articulate a defense of the Anglican Church’s beliefs, advocating for a view of Christianity that prioritizes moral responsibility and a benevolent understanding of God. The opening of the book begins with Hull addressingthe context of Calvinism's influence and its perceived threats to the Anglican Church, which he believes is based on earnest but often misguided piety. He outlines his concerns that the prevalence of Calvinism could lead to a form of spiritual despotism that undermines core Christian values of charity and freedom. Hull asserts that while he recognizes the complexity of the issues at hand, he feels compelled to challenge Calvinist doctrines, emphasizing the need for moral responsibility and the inherent goodness of God as perceived through Christian compassion. He sets the stage for a thorough examination of Calvinism's doctrines, framing his arguments in a way intended to resonate with a wide audience of churchgoers who value truth over party allegiance.
