"John Davenant's hypothetical universalism has consistently been misinterpreted and
misrepresented as a via media between Arminianism and Reformed theology. This study
examines Bishop John Davenant's hypothetical universalism in the context of early
modern Reformed orthodoxy. In light of the various misunderstandings of early modern
hypothetical universalism, including English hypothetical universalism, as well as
the paucity of studies touching on the theology of John Davenant in particular, this
dissertation: (1) Gives a detailed exposition of Davenant's doctrine of universal
redemption in dialogue with his understanding of closely related doctrines such as
God's will, predestination, providence, and covenant theology; and (2) defends the
thesis that Davenant's version of hypothetical universalism represents a significant
strand of the Augustinian tradition, including the early modern Reformed tradition.
In service of these two aims, this dissertation examines the patristic and medieval
periods as they provide the background for the Lutheran, Remonstrant, and Reformed
reactions to the so-called Lombardian formula ("Christ died sufficiently for all;
effectually for the elect"). Moreover, it traces how Davenant and his fellow British
delegates at the Synod of Dordt shaped the Canons of Dordt in such a way as to allow
for their English hypothetical universalism. A careful exposition of the various theses
found in Davenant's De Morte Christi makes up the central core of this dissertation.
Finally, this study explores Davenant's covenant theology and doctrine of the divine
will"
