âEvangelical Teachingâ is an insightful 1855 essay written by George Eliot (Marian Evans) and published in The Westminster Review. Here, Eliot explores ethical problems inherent in certain strands and styles of Christian evangelical teachingâparticularly as displayed in the writings of one Dr. Cumming. While Eliotâs critique is focused on the work of this particular preacher, her insights are enduringly pertinent for those interested in the politics and ethics of religious discourse today. As always, Eliotâs authorial voice is abounding in pathos and concern for contexts of human relationality.
