The moral purpose of Charles Kingsley's novels is pronounced
because he was a preacher, and more specifically, a teacher. He was
above all a preacher of stirring didactic sermons. It is the
didactic content of his writings-in his sermons, his novels, and
his essays on natural theology-which is the study of this work. One
forgets that Kingsley was not, in the first instance, a social and
political reformer. As a preacher, and as a writer, he was
pre-eminently a teacher. He was not an evangelical preacher, yet
the Christian gospel was at the heart of his teachings and his
moral exhortations. This work attempts to look at the Christian
message that was the inspiration behind his socio-religious gospel.
Writing at the time of Charles Darwin, Kingsley saw no reason to
lose his sound Christian faith with the emergence of Darwin's
theory of evolution. Instead, he could accept it as a means to a
divine end, another example of how Providence might bring about the
Kingdom of God on earth.
