Excerpt from The Memoirs of a Preacher, or the Mysteries of the Pulpit Then the curtain rises, and this Drama which. Is too improbable for fiction displays its varied and crowded scenes. One side of Chesnut street is wrapt in sha dow; the other rests in the light of the rising moon. The marble pile, which stands near Independence Hall, rises grandly into the se rene sky, like a vast palace of ice and snow. From the hundred windows of yonder edifice, as many glimpses of fireside light, steal out upon the snow, and mingle with the rays of the moon. Suddenly the scene is thronged by crowds of well-dressed men and women, who are hurrying to the various Churches of the Great City, their dark attire strongly con treated with the white mantle which over spreads the street. The Lawyer has forgot his quibbles for awhile, the Merchant his Day? Book, the sleek Quaker his deeds and ground rents, the lady of fashion, her last shawl or lover, and all are hurrying to the worship of the - Lord! What Lord! The Being who spread this sky, and set it with countless worlds, who said long ago, that All men were alike his children?

In The Pastor, author Eugene Peterson, translator of the multimillion-selling The Message, tells the story of how he started Christ Our King Presbyterian Church in Bel Air, Maryland and his gradual discovery of what it really means to be a pastor. Steering away from abstractions, Peterson challenges conventional wisdom regarding church marketing, mega pastors, and the church’s too-cozy relationship to American glitz and consumerism to present a simple, faith-based description of what being a minister means today. In the end, Peterson discovers that being a pastor boils down to “paying attention and calling attention to ‘what is going on now’ between men and women, with each other and with God.”

For much of the nineteenth century, the nervous system was a medical mystery, inspiring scientific studies and exciting great public interest. Because of this widespread fascination, the nerves came to explain the means by which mind and body related to each other. By the 1830s, the nervous system helped Americans express the consequences on the body, and for society, of major historical changes. Literary writers, including Nathaniel Hawthorne and Harriet Beecher Stowe, used the nerves as a metaphor to re-imagine the role of the self amidst political, social and religious tumults, including debates about slavery and the revivals of the Second Great Awakening. Representing the 'romance' of the nervous system and its cultural impact thoughtfully and, at times, critically, the fictional experiments of this century helped construct and explore a neurological vision of the body and mind. Murison explains the impact of neurological medicine on nineteenth-century literature and culture.

The common view of the nineteenth-century pastoral relationship--found in both contemporary popular accounts and 20th-century scholarship--was that women and clergymen formed a natural alliance and enjoyed a particular influence over each other. In Without Benefit of Clergy, Karin Gedge tests this thesis by examining the pastoral relationship from the perspective of the minister, the female parishioner, and the larger culture. The question that troubled religious women seeking counsel, says Gedge, was: would their minister respect them, help them, honor them? Surprisingly, she finds, the answer was frequently negative. Gedge supports her conclusion with evidence from a wide range of previously untapped primary sources including pastoral manuals, seminary students' and pastors' journals, women's diaries and letters, pamphlets, sentimental and sensational novels, and The Scarlet Letter.
