| Summary | "The Self-Plumed Bishop Unplumed" by Thomas Latham is a theological treatise written during the early 19th century. This book serves as a polemic response to the arguments presented by an author using the pseudonym Hugh Latimer, who advocates for the doctrine of eternal punishment. Latham engages critically with aspects of Christian theology, particularly those surrounding the concepts of sin, punishment, and divine justice. In this work, Latham systematically critiques the position taken by Latimer, whom he accuses of failing to provide substantial evidence for his claims regarding endless punishment. He discusses the implications of infinite suffering on the nature of God, arguing that a benevolent deity could not subject humanity to eternal torment. Latham defends the concept of corrective punishment and suggests that God's justice aligns with mercy rather than vindictiveness. Through detailed analysis and logical reasoning, he attempts to clarify misunderstandings in theological discourse, ultimately advocating for a more compassionate interpretation of divine justice that favors the eventual restoration of all souls.
