Davenantian Hypothetical Universalistic Atonement

As a Calvinist, I'm open to various views on the atonement, from Limited Atonement as popularized by John Owen, to other views, like General Atonement and mediating views like the Hypothetical Universal Atonement of Amyraldianism and Davanentianism [et al.]. If Amyraldianism's view of the atonement and salvation is somewhere in between Calvinism and Arminianism, John Davenant's views are in between 5 Point Calvinism that affirms Owenian Limited Atonement and Amyraldianism. So, Amyraldianism leans more towards Arminianism, while Davenantianism leans more toward Full 5 Point Calvinism and its affirmation of Limited Atonement. Of the non-Owenian Atonement views, I find Davenant's views most appealing.

The following are some YouTube videos on Atonement views that hold to Hypothetical Universalism. Most of the videos are on Davenantism, rather than Amyraldianism and other views. Apparently, Michael Lynch is an avid proponent of Danvenant's views on the atonement.
