This is the 1837 fifth edition of A Treatise on Atonement by Hosea Ballou, a foundational work in early American Universalist theology. Published in Boston by Marsh Capen and Lyon, this influential volume argues for the finite nature of sin and the eventual reconciliation of all souls to holiness and happiness—core to Ballou’s message of divine love over eternal punishment.

The book measures 7.5 by 5 inches and contains 228 pages. Bound in original brown cloth boards with some rubbing and edge wear. The spine covering is chipped and the binding is slightly loose, but all pages are present and securely bound. Interior shows scattered foxing and age toning, but no writing or markings.
