A Cautious Enthusiasm examines the religious, social, and political
interplay between eighteenth-century evangelicalism and the
Anglican establishment in the lowcountry South. Samuel C. Smith
argues that the subjective spirituality inherent in evangelical
religion was a catalyst toward political and social consensus among
influential Anglican laymen. Smith finds that a close examination
of the writings and actions of religion-minded South Carolinians
such as Henry Laurens, Christopher Gadsden, and Anglican clergymen
Robert Smith and Richard Clarke reveals the influence of
evangelical zeal at the highest levels of society. Taking his study
even deeper into the religious life of lowcountry society, Smith
identifies radically pietistic elements, some of which originated
in the mystical writings and practices of European Roman Catholics,
German Pietists, and Huguenot Calvinists. Central to this study is
the recognition of Catholic mysticism's impact on the experiential
side of early evangelicalism, a subject rarely explored in
historical works. A Cautious Enthusiasm provides a rare examination
of Great Awakening revivalism among lowcountry Anglicans by tracing
the European origins into the lowcountry South. This study
demonstrates how elements of mystical religiosity prodded some to
associate evangelical revivalists with Catholicism and displays how
subjective elements of religion contributed to a unique patriotic
consensus among lowcountry Anglicans in the Revolutionary era.
