A theological doctrine developed in 17th-century Protestantism proposing a universal atonement alongside predestination.
Named after Moise Amyraut (1596-1664), a French Reformed theologian who developed this theology. The suffix '-ism' indicates a system of religious belief.
Amyraldism attempted to bridge the impossible gap between two Protestant convictions—that God predestines some to salvation AND that Christ died to save all humanity—creating a theological compromise that satisfied almost nobody but influenced centuries of debate.
