- Summary
- "Preaching held an important place in the life of colonial Anglo-America, and yet to date little has been written on the subject of 18th-century Catholic homiletics, because it has been widely assumed that, in comparison to Protestant sermons, little relevant material survived from the labors of the Catholic missioners of the colonial era. Fully Instructed and Vehemently Influenced: Catholic Preaching in Anglo-Catholic America challenges this assumption on the basis of examination of over 450 texts preached (mostly by Jesuits) in Maryland and Pennsylvania from 1700 to 1801, and now preserved in the American Catholic Sermon Collection at Georgetown University. This study offers many insights into these sermons' originality, the sources used in their composition, their presentation of Catholic doctrine and practice, and their attitudes toward contemporary society. Thus it opens a "window" onto the religious life and practice of colonial Anglo-Catholic America, to which previously there has been precious little access."--BOOK JACKET.
