Kurtzer Begriff des ewigen Evangelii
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
Extensive searches across major bibliographic databases (including local catalogs, Google Books, Internet Archive, and OpenAlex) yielded no evidence of an English translation of Ludwig Gerhard's 1729 work 'A Brief Summary of the Eternal Gospel'. The search results for 'Ludwig Gerhard' primarily returned unrelated works by other authors (such as Ludwig Wilhelm Brüggemann) or general histories of universalism that mention the movement but do not contain a translation of this specific text. Given the obscurity of the author and the lack of any record in major catalogs, it is highly probable that no English translation exists.

Ludwig Gerhard’s 'Eternal Gospel' boldly challenges 18th-century orthodoxy, arguing that a truly victorious Christ cannot leave a single soul behind. Discover a radical reimagining of divine justice where the 'Restoration of All Things' isn't just a hope, but a scriptural necessity.
