title: Unbounded Christianity: Defining Religion for Oneself in Nineteenth-Century New England through Adin Ballou creator: Taylor, Bryce subject: 230 subject: 230 Christian theology subject: 810 subject: 810 American literature in English subject: 970 subject: 970 General history of North America description: This dissertation turns specifically to the recovered writings of Reverend Adin Ballou, a historically neglected New England preacher, to re-envision and re-interpret what it meant to be a "seeker" during the religiously tumultuous antebellem era in the United States. Using Ballou as a lens, I argue that for both the pastor and practitioner, one's own understanding of religion was fluid despite denominational indentification. date: 2016 type: Dissertation type: info:eu-repo/semantics/doctoralThesis type: NonPeerReviewed format: application/pdf identifier: https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserverhttps://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/22005/1/Unbounded%20Christianity%20-%20Defining%20Religion%20for%20Oneself%20in%20Nineteenth-Century%20New%20England%20through%20Adin%20Ballou.pdf identifier: DOI:10.11588/heidok.00022005 identifier: urn:nbn:de:bsz:16-heidok-220059 identifier: Taylor, Bryce (2016) Unbounded Christianity: Defining Religion for Oneself in Nineteenth-Century New England through Adin Ballou.
