New England Christianity in the nineteenth century produced an
almost unending stream of new and old denominations that speckled
the landscape. Baptists, Congregationalists, Methodists,
Universalists, Spiritualists, Unitarians, Restorationists, and
Calvinists-to name a few-beckoned each individual to join their
growing movements. Each professed its truths and some proclaimed
theirs was the only path leading to salvation. Admist this
Christian angst, Adin Ballou began his spiritual quest to obtain
truth. Through Ballou's lengthy spiritual quest, from 1820 to 1880,
this book examines how denominational histories, however important,
do not explain what a nineteenth-century New England Christian
became. Ballou exemplifies this paradox. Always fixed, but never
settled. Once a believer chose a path, new phenomena and teachings
immediately appeared leaving one's truth claims transient. Through
the Christian maze of nineteenth-century New England, Ballou's
Christian faith was simply his own.
