Adin Ballou Livres

Practical Christian Socialism (1854) was Adin Ballou's most comprehensive exposition of his fundamental principles and their application to personal and community life, ranging from theology and political theory to marriage, child-rearing, and a surprisingly frank discussion of sexuality. In Practical Christianity, Ballou's 655-page treatise has been edited to eliminate the cumbersome dialogue form in which it was originally written. All of the language is Ballou's own, and nothing is omitted except a final section in which he compared Practical Christian Socialism to competing varieties of utopian socialism popular at the time.

The autobiography chronicles Adin Ballou's remarkable journey from a contentious young minister embroiled in theological disputes to a revered leader of the pacifist Hopedale Community. Despite his initial temperament, marked by pride and a desire for honor, Ballou's experiences led him to embrace nonviolent resistance and peace. His transformation highlights the internal struggles of reconciling personal conflicts with a commitment to peace, ultimately earning him respect and admiration both locally and globally. This edition offers insights into his philosophy and impact.
