TY - GEN Y1 - 2016/// TI - Unbounded Christianity: Defining Religion for Oneself in Nineteenth-Century New England through Adin Ballou ID - heidok22005 UR - https://archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/volltextserver/22005/ N2 - 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. A1 - Taylor, Bryce AV - public ER -
