The Evangelical Age of Ingenuity in Industrial Britain argues that
British evangelicals in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth
centuries invented new methods of spreading the gospel, as well as
new forms of personal religious practice, by exploiting the era's
growth of urbanization, industrialization, consumer goods,
technological discoveries, and increasingly mobile populations.
While evangelical faith has often been portrayed standing in
inherent tension with the transitions of modernity, Joseph
Stubenrauch demonstrates that developments in technology, commerce,
and infrastructure were fruitfully linked with theological shifts
and changing modes of religious life. This volume analyzes a
vibrant array of religious consumer and material culture produced
during the first half of the nineteenth century. Mass print and
cheap mass-produced goods-from tracts and ballad sheets to teapots
and needlework mottoes-were harnessed to the evangelical project.
By examining ephemera and decorations alongside the strategies of
evangelical publishers and benevolent societies, Stubenrauch
considers often overlooked sources in order to take the pulse of
"vital" religion during an age of upheaval. He explores why and how
evangelicals turned to the radical alterations of their era to
bolster their faith and why "serious Christianity" flowered in an
industrial age that has usually been deemed inhospitable to it.
