    ""The Three-Fold Basis Of Universal Restitution"" is a book written by George Peill and originally published in 1885.

Peill argues that there are three main bases for this belief: the nature of God, the nature of man, and the nature of the atonement. Peill begins by examining the nature of God, arguing that God is loving and merciful, and therefore would not condemn any of his creations to eternal damnation. He then turns to the nature of man, arguing that all humans have the potential for redemption and that no one is beyond salvation. Finally, Peill explores the nature of the atonement, arguing that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient to save all souls, not just a select few.Throughout the book, Peill draws on biblical verses and theological arguments to support his belief in universal restitution. He also addresses common objections to the concept, such as the idea that it undermines the importance of personal responsibility and the fear that it will lead to moral laxity.Overall, ""The Three-Fold Basis Of Universal Restitution"" is a thought-provoking exploration of a controversial theological concept.
