Synopsis: From a location in nineteenth-century England, this study seeks to shed fresh light on a range of subjects by introducing new conversation partners into a variety of discussions. The orientating discipline is religious history, more specifically the history of Christianity--and the other side of that coin in Victorian currency the history of religious skepticism. Nevertheless, religious history is explored in this volume at its crossroads with other fields, both in religious studies (especially biblical studies and historical theology) and in historical studies, notably political, intellectual, social, cultural, and women's history. This book is comprised of both original and previously published material.
