Page "Marcellus of Ancyra" Paragraph 5

J. W. Hanson ( 1899 ) and other Universalist Church of America historians read that Marcellus's theology included a belief in universalism, that all people would eventually be saved.

He is quoted by his opponent Eusebius as having said " For what else do the words mean, ' until the times of the restitution ' ( Acts 3: 21 ), but that the apostle designed to point out that time in which all things partake of that perfect restoration.

" ( Against Marcellus 2: 14 ) However the reference to Acts 3: 21 indicates that Eusebius is probably using " restoration " apokatastasis here in the Jewish sense.
