Synopsis

First published in 1846, Adin Ballou’s Christian Non-Resistance is a classic statement of Christian pacifist ethics—arguing that followers of Christ must reject retaliation and overcome evil only with good.

Ballou develops the “nonresistance” principle across its major practical implications: personal injury, social conflict, moral persuasion, and the believer’s relationship to institutions that rely on coercion. Associated with the ideals Ballou advanced in and around the Hopedale Community, the book remains an important primary text in the history of nonviolence, peace theology, and reform movements in 19th-century America.

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

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.
