It reiterates the various arguments made throughout the work, especially revolving around Davenant’s relationship to the Reformed tradition. It concludes, based on the evidence of the work as a whole, that Davenant’s hypothetical universalism carries on a significant trajectory of Reformed theology reaching back into Augustinianism itself. Moreover, the chapter reckons that interpreters of English hypothetical universalism have too often lumped it together with French Amyraldianism. Finally, the chapter registers the difficulty De Morte Christi poses for the modern interpreter. It is hoped that this study alleviates some of that difficulty.","PeriodicalId":201920,"journal":{"name":"John Davenant's Hypothetical Universalism","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115181869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
