Bag om Life Story Of Hosea Ballou

The book ""Life Story of Hosea Ballou: For the Young"" is a biography of the American theologian Hosea Ballou, written by Maturin Murray Ballou and published in 1854. Hosea Ballou was a prominent figure in the Universalist Church in the United States during the early 19th century, and his life story is presented here in a way that is accessible to young readers.The book traces Ballou's life from his childhood in rural New Hampshire, through his early struggles to make a living as a schoolteacher and farmer, to his eventual rise to prominence as a preacher and theologian. Along the way, readers learn about Ballou's religious beliefs, his commitment to social justice, and his tireless efforts to spread the gospel of Universalism throughout the country.Despite its focus on a specific historical figure and religious movement, the book also touches on broader themes of American history and culture, including the role of religion in shaping national identity, the tensions between individualism and community, and the struggles of marginalized groups to achieve equality and recognition.Overall, ""Life Story of Hosea Ballou: For the Young"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of America's most influential religious leaders, and provides valuable insights into the social and cultural forces that have shaped the country's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
