George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety

Nudging Towards God

Beschreibung

George Herbert and the Business of Practical Piety employs contemporary nudge theory to illuminate the religious writing of George Herbert (1593-1633). Ceri Sullivan shows how Herbert's The Temple provides a compendium of techniques to support cheerful, godly thought and action, in a way which is comic, not despairing or compulsive.
