William Hull's scathing treatise in opposition to the ethos of Calvinism sets out several religious and political reasons to oppose the doctrine.
Written in the 1840s at a time when Calvinist ideals had taken hold within much of European society, this book holds to task a faith which Hull viewed as in violation of several principles of the Christian religion. Singling out several elements of the Calvinist belief system, Hull argues that the denomination had fallen afoul of several inviolable tenets of the faith.
Vociferous in his criticisms, Hull believed that Calvinism was a corruption of the Christian doctrines, and that it represented a betrayal both to Anglicanism and wider Christendom. He also believed that belonging to a Calvinist church damaged the individual's happiness and abilities to function in society, and that the denomination itself was in clear opposition to the United States Constitution.
Hull was a decorated soldier in the United States army, receiving particular acclaim for his valiant actions during the American Revolution. His surrender of a key fort during the The War of 1812 however damaged his reputation, and his court martial remains a famous event in U.S. history. Hull would use his reputation both as a commander and a politician to advance his views, On Calvinism representing such an instance.
