About this audiobook
In this sermon, Reverend Hiram Mattison discusses the argument for Christian opposition to theater. He states, “the theater has been one unmitigated moral pest through the whole twenty-five centuries of its existence.” Mattison presents supporting testimonies from the like of Aristotle, Augustine, and John Wesley. Regardless of the reader’s opinion on theater, this sermon provides fascinating insight into the institution’s reputation throughout history.
