This book provides a wealth of fascinating information about many
significant and lesser-known nineteenth-century Christian authors,
mostly women, who were motivated to write material specifically for
children's spiritual edification because of their personal faith.
It explores three prevalent theological and controversial doctrines
of the period, namely Soteriology, Biblical Authority and
Eschatology, in relation to children's specifically engendered
Christian literature. It traces the ecclesiastical networks and
affiliations across the theological spectrum of Evangelical
authors, publishers, theologians, clergy and scholars of the
period. An unprecedented deluge of Evangelical literature was
produced for millions of Sunday School children in the nineteenth
century, resulting in one of its most prolific and profitable forms
of publishing. It expanded into a vast industry whose magnitude,
scope and scale is discussed throughout this book. Rather than
dismissing Evangelical children's literature as simplistic,
formulaic, moral didacticism, this book argues that, in attempting
to convert the mass reading public, nineteenth-century authors and
publishers developed a complex, highly competitive genre of
children's literature to promote their particular theologies, faith
and churchmanships, and to ultimately save the nation.
