Social Dancing Inconsistent With a Christian Profession and Baptismal Vows (Classic Reprint): A Sermon, Preached in the Presbyterian Church, Columbia, S. C., June 17, 1849 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Social dancing is examined as a serious test of faith and church life. This 1849 sermon argues that participation in social dancing conflicts with Christian vows, baptismal commitments, and the duties of church members. It frames dancing as a distraction from spiritual duties and warns of its potential to erode moral standards among the young and among families.
In clear, plain language, the speaker makes three main points: dancing can blur the line between church and world, it risks promoting ungodly pleasures, and it can undermine sexual virtue through mixed company and tempting social settings. The text emphasizes personal conscience, pastoral responsibility, and the seriousness with which church leaders must guard vows and covenant promises.
What you’ll encounter:
- A historic perspective on how some 19th‑century Protestants viewed social dancing and its fit with religious life.
- Arguments about the relationship between worldly pleasure, baptismal vows, and church discipline.
- Discussion of how pastors might respond if dancing is tolerated or questioned within a congregation.
Ideal for readers interested in historical religious discourse, 19th‑century sermons, and debates about morality and social life in church communities. This edition provides a window into the era’s approach to duty, temptation, and the covenant between faith and everyday conduct.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a deep examination of the social and religious arguments against dancing as an acceptable social activity for people of faith. The author, a prominent Presbyterian minister, offers a thorough analysis of various biblical references to dancing, arguing that the vast majority depict dance in a religious context and that the few references to social dancing do not condone the modern practice of social dancing. This book also explores the potential dangers of dancing, including its tendency to promote vanity, worldliness, and even immorality. The author asserts that the physical closeness and excitement of dancing can lead to improper thoughts and actions, especially among young people. Ultimately, this book argues that Christians should avoid social dancing as it is inconsistent with their commitment to live a holy and separate life. Through a close examination of scripture and historical context, this book provides valuable insights into the morality of social dancing and its potential impact on one's spiritual well-being.
