About this book

Catharine is a religious narrative by Nehemiah Adams (1806-1878), the American Congregationalist minister who served as pastor of the Essex Street Church in Boston for over four decades from 1834 until his death. Adams produced substantial religious and devotional writing across his long career, with various biographical and narrative works alongside his more directly theological and pastoral books.

The book centers on a young woman named Catharine and uses her experiences and religious development as the framework for working through various devotional and theological themes that mid-nineteenth century American Protestant readers found relevant to their own religious lives. The use of a young female protagonist for religious instruction was a common device in the period's substantial Protestant devotional literature.

Adams was a substantial figure in mid-nineteenth century Boston Congregational life. His broader pastoral career and his publications including A South-Side View of Slavery of 1854 made him a prominent voice in American religious life during the decades before and after the Civil War.
