A short interpretive study, written for the centennial of the Winchester Profession, arguing that Ballou belongs among the great reformers of Christian thought. Adams presents the Treatise on Atonement as the opening of a 'gospel renaissance' — the recovery of the New Testament's God of love from centuries of punitive theology — and traces how ideas once denounced as heresy had, by 1900, leavened American Protestantism at large. A brisk companion to Safford's full biography.
