Ballou, Adin (1803–90), founder of the
Hopedale Community, was originally a believer in Universalism, but withdrew to expound the doctrine of Restorationism, that all men will be ultimately restored to happiness in the future life. He published a magazine, the
Independent Messenger (1831–39), and wrote such books as
Practical Christian Socialism (1854) and
Primitive Christianity and Its Corruptions (1870).
