| Summary: | Denouncing the Laodiceans among his congregation, the Victorian Baptist pastor and preacher, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, railed, ‘There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write “damnation” with your fingers’. Rather than providing a peculiarly literal interpretation of the notion of cleanliness being next to Godliness, Larsen's book demonstrates that this assertion of the importance of the Bible and Biblical study was central to Victorian religious thought in areas that are sometimes surprising. In order to avoid implying closer affinities between some religious denominations than others, or appearing to offer a hierarchy of denominational ardour, the chapters apparently appear in the order they were researched. |
