I was reading a part of Ann Lee Bressler’s The Universalist Movement in America, 1770-1880, when I ran across this:
Until it ceased publication in 1891, the Universalist Quarterly supplied a forum for those thinkers who, like the neo-orthodox theologians several decades later, objected to the increasingly pervasive theme of continuity between the present world and the divine, “the major positive principle of the liberal mind.” (p. 144)
I have long read the Universalist Quarterly and General Review, first for background for my never-written master’s thesis, and later for Richard Eddy’s multi-part “Universalist Conventions and Creeds.” But you don’t have to read them on microfilm any more. Several volumes have been scanned and may be read online or downloaded. It’s a good read, and is a counter to the oft-repeated trope that Universalists were unsophisticated.
Note: some of these are misnumbered. This is not the scanner’s fault, but the original publisher’s.
Alsos, not all volumes are online, but I’ll keep looking and filling in missing volumes.
