Book Overview

On The Amusements Of Clergymen, And Christians In General: Three Dialogues Between A Dean And A Curate (1820) is a book written by Edward Stillingfleet. The book is a series of three dialogues between a Dean and a Curate, discussing the topic of amusements for clergymen and Christians in general. The dialogues explore the question of whether it is appropriate for clergymen and Christians to engage in leisure activities and what types of activities are acceptable. The book presents arguments for and against various types of amusements, including card-playing, dancing, and theater-going. The author argues that while some amusements may be acceptable, others are not appropriate for Christians, particularly those that involve immoral or sinful behavior. The book provides a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the topic of leisure and morality in the context of Christianity, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of religion and morality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
