The life of Universalism's great radical, told by himself. Adin Ballou — a kinsman of Hosea — preached universal salvation, then staked everything on living it, founding the Hopedale Community in Massachusetts as an experiment in 'Practical Christian' socialism, temperance, abolition, and absolute nonresistance. His doctrine of nonviolence reached Leo Tolstoy, who corresponded with him and acknowledged the debt. Completed and edited by his son-in-law William S. Heywood.
