Description

Nineteenth-century evangelicals have often been dismissed as anti-intellectual and philistine.

Drawing from periodicals, memoirs and letters, Evangelicals and Culture aims to demonstrate that this vision doesn't depict the reality of British evangelicals between 1790 and 1833.

By examining evangelicals' leisure pursuits along with their enjoyment of art, music, literature and study, Rosman concludes that they shared the thought and taste of their contemporaries to a far greater extent than is usually acknowledged.

Rosman reaches the conclusion that actually, evangelical theology encouraged such activities and that evangelicals regarded recreations which engaged the mind or which could be pursued within the safety of the home as more concordant with spirituality than "sensual" or "worldly" pleasures.
