		Charles Chauncy’s Universal Salvation vs. Jonathan Edwards’s Everlasting Hell In eighteenth century New England, the Boston pastor Charles Chauncy anonymously wrote The Mystery Hid from Ages and Generations purporting to demonstrate the doctrine that the entire race of mankind would be rescued from the tortures of hell by a wonderfully good God.
		Given this assumption, Chauncy is correct in concluding both that hell must not be everlasting and that the only reason for future suffering is for the purpose of discipline and to bring those in hell to a point or repentance.
		Chauncy then concludes that for sin to be destroyed and thus subjected to Christ, there must be a point where everyone, even those in hell, turn away from their sin and turn instead to God in faith.

		The method betrays a certain weakness in the middle of Chauncy’s work, since it must have gone over the heads of men of the class reached by Whitefield, son of the innkeeper, or by Tennant, promoter of log-cabin learning.
		An infinitely benevolent being might interpose, as occasion required, to prevent the mischief that would otherwise take place, but possibly the method of communicating good by general laws, uniformly adhered to, is, in the nature of things, a better adapted one to produce the greatest good, than the other method of interpositions continually repeated.
		In a life that nearly spanned the eighteenth century, Chauncy affords an excellent example of the double reaction of the age of reason against the doctrines of irrationalism.

	Fits, Trances, and Visions
		Chauncy's psycho-physiological explanation of enthusiasm reflected both his reading of earlier theorists of enthusiasm and the general scientific thought of his era.
		As an intellectualist, Chauncy held that the will was a rational appetite that could be confined to the rational soul and that the passions were sensitive appetites located, logically enough, in the sensitive or animal part of the soul.
		Although Chauncy, in keeping with the leading thinkers of his time, assumed a connection between the imagination and the passions aroused by the animal spirits, debates raged during this period over the precise nature of their interaction.

		Another thinker of ability, but of a less noble and elevated style, was Chauncy’s younger contemporary, Jonathan Mayhew (1720–1766), a graduate of Harvard in 1744, and best known for his lively attacks upon the Tory doctrines of passive obedience and non-resistance.
		In place of a God of wrath and terror, he would put the Scriptural God who is represented “under the characters of a father and a king, the wisest and best father, the wisest and best king.” This sentiment eventuated in two Thanksgiving sermons On the Nature, Extent and Perfection of the Divine Goodness.
		While Chauncy held that wisdom without goodness might be good, Mayhew held that goodness without wisdom might be bad.

	Jonathan Edwards and Charles Chauncy and enthusiasm described and treatise on the religious affections
		The mantle of opposition fell on the Rev. Charles Chauncy of Boston's First Church, a Harvard-educated anti-revivaler who burst on the scene through his cautionary 1742 tract "Enthusiasm Defined and Cautioned Against," which he had first delivered the week after the Harvard Commencement in that same year (Marsden, 272).
		Chauncy, educated in classical terminology and images, argued that humans had a tripartite psyche and that the mind always had to be in control.
		Chauncy's psychology had tradition to support it, but it really was quite foreign to those who believed that the essence of true piety related to the awakened heart.

	February 10: Chauncy's jaundice toward revival methods (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Charles Chauncy, who would minister at Boston's First Church for sixty years, distrusted the Great Awakening and wrote letters against it.
		Chauncy protested that Whitefield was "...spoken of as the angel flying through heaven with the everlasting Gospel..." This verged on blasphemy because (according to Chauncy) Whitefield was a mere ranter who played on the emotions of those terrified by hell and the Calvinist doctrine of predestination.
		Chauncy's denial of doctrines which Christ and the apostles taught indicates that there was unresolved disturbance in his own heart when he raised his objections to the Great Awakening.

	Common-place: Review: The Devil and Doctor Dwight
		According to Wells, the clash between Calvinist orthodoxy and the new doctrines of Chauncy and others was a continuation of the conflict between Pelagius and Augustine.
		Chauncy hoped Universalism could return covenant theology to a more proper course and appeal to those who had rejected all of Christianity as irrational and superstitious.
		Chauncy charged that Calvinism was irrational and superstitious, but Dwight claimed instead that epistemological confidence and human-centered theology were the primary superstitions of the modern age.

		Chauncy’s main attack on the revival was his Seasonable thoughts on the state of religion in New England (1743).

	The Devil and Doctor Dwight: Satire and Theology in the Early American Republic, by Colin Wells. Introduction.
		Indeed, the increasing interest in the idea of universal salvation in the last decades of the eighteenth century has tended to be viewed as a religious or doctrinal issue, rather than as a movement containing far greater political and ideological implications within the history of the early Republic.
		Chauncy's central role in The Triumph of Infidelity will no doubt be surprising to those who remember him mainly as Jonathan Edwards's great antagonist in the earlier New England controversy occasioned by the Great Awakening, the defender of a sober and traditional Puritanism against the seemingly radical newer emphasis upon revivalism and religious affections.
		The theological name of this tendency, of course, is pride, and in conventional terms Dwight is simply suggesting that human pride is the hidden common denominator of a range of historical figures, events, and ideas covered under the category of infidelity.

	Christie, Beginnings of Arminianism in New England
		“Winthrop’s intimacy with Dr. Chauncy and his co-operation with him in the investigation of ‘certain particular truths’ probably strengthened, perhaps justified, the fears existing among the stricter sect of Calvinists, that his religious views did not coincide with their standard of faith, and caused the pertinacity with which the examination was pressed”
		But there is no evidence that at that date Chauncy was viewed with suspicion and would be a compromising friend.
		Possibly even the six or seven were counted on the strength of later developments in their cases, for the revival experiences of 1740 brought a new demand and test the demand for a sudden and sensible conversion.
