Practical Christianity: An Epitome of Practical Christian Socialism by Adin Ball

Description: Practical Christianity by Adin Ballou, Lynn Gordon Hughes Practical Christian Socialism (1854) was Adin Ballous 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, Ballous 655-page treatise has been edited to eliminate the cumbersome dialogue form in which it was originally written. All of the language is Ballous 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. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Adin Ballou (1803-1890), the founder of the utopian community of Hopedale, Massachusetts, was a leading nineteenth-century pacifist, socialist, and abolitionist. Unlike many other reformers of his time Ballou did not abandon his pacifist principles during the Civil War. His version of pacifism, which he called Christian Non-Resistance, was admired by Leo Tolstoy and, through Tolstoy, influenced the great twentieth-century non-violent activists, Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. The Hopedale Community (1841-1856) was based upon pacifism and "Practical Christian Socialism," a form of socialism that, unlike Marxism, included a place for private property and the profit motive.
