| Summary | "Biography of Rev. Hosea Ballou" by Maturin M. Ballou is a biographical account written in the mid-19th century. This work focuses on the life and contributions of Hosea Ballou, who was a significant figure in the establishment of Universalism in America. The book not only chronicles his personal life but also examines the sociopolitical and religious context of his time through the lens of his experiences and teachings. The opening of the biography sets the stage for understanding Hosea Ballou's early influences and challenges. Maturin M. Ballou, the author and son of Hosea, expresses his intent to provide a truthful narrative devoid of embellishment. Early sections detail the harsh realities of Ballou's childhood, including the loss of his mother at a young age and his father's strict religious upbringing, which shaped his theological inquiries. Hosea's journey from a humble origin, marked by poverty and limited educational resources, to becoming a prominent religious leader illustrates not only his personal growth but also the evolution of his beliefs, particularly focusing on his eventual embrace of Universalism and the doctrine of universal salvation.
