Summary: "Salvation Universal" by Joseph Fielding Smith is a theological publication written in the early 20th century. This book explores the concept of salvation from a Latter-day Saint perspective, emphasizing the doctrine of universal salvation as taught within Mormonism. The work discusses the nature of God's plan for humanity, the importance of faith, repentance, and the need for ordinances, as well as the role of Jesus Christ as the redeemer. In "Salvation Universal," Smith articulates a comprehensive view of salvation, arguing that it encompasses not just a individual righteousness but also the vicarious work done for the dead through temple ordinances. The text elaborates on the necessity of obedience to the principles of the gospel and the eternal implications of humanity's choices, including the fate of those who did not receive the gospel in mortal life. Notably, it holds that, through Jesus’ atonement, not only the living but also the dead may find redemption. Smith argues that performing ordinances such as baptism for the dead creates a binding link between generations, emphasizing the interconnectedness of God's family and the sacred duty of the living to assist their ancestors.
