Timothy Flint (1780-1840), was an ordained Congregational minister, dissenter, missionary, teacher and a published author who sought to reinvigorate American Protestantism with a vision of the eternal Christ. This work, one of his early publications, attempts to remind Christians that mankind is immortal and that the soul is the vehicle imbued in each of us by God that will last forever. Christians have the power to determine whether our souls will live everlasting life in heaven or suffer the pains of hell for eternity.
