Punch In The Pulpit is a book written by Philip Cater and published in 1863. The book is a collection of humorous and satirical sketches that poke fun at the religious establishment of the time. The title of the book is a play on words, as ""punch"" refers to a type of puppet that was popular in English puppet shows, and ""pulpit"" refers to the elevated platform in a church where a preacher delivers a sermon. The book is divided into several sections, each containing a number of sketches. The sketches are written in a lighthearted and irreverent style, and often use exaggerated characters and situations to make their point. Some of the sketches focus on the hypocrisy of religious leaders, while others take aim at the superstitious beliefs of the common people. Despite its humorous tone, Punch In The Pulpit is also a commentary on the social and political issues of the time. The book was published during the American Civil War, and some of the sketches deal with the conflict and its impact on society. Other sketches address issues such as slavery, women's rights, and the role of government in society. Overall, Punch In The Pulpit is a witty and entertaining book that offers a unique perspective on the religious and social issues of the mid-19th century. It is a valuable historical document that provides insight into the attitudes and beliefs of the time, and is still relevant today as a commentary on the role of religion in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
