EDITORS COMMENTS
Theologians Fight, 1886: Why Do The Heathen Rage? They don't, Gentle Reader. They are Taking Things very Peacefully and Pleasantly, while the Andover Missionaries are Settling their little Theological Differences among Themselves". This intriguing lithograph from 1886 captures a unique moment in history when theological disputes took center stage amidst a serene island backdrop. In this comical scene, we witness a group of distinguished theologians engaged in an animated debate within a rowboat. Clad in top hats and clerical attire, these men represent different schools of thought as they fiercely argue their perspectives. Contrary to the title's suggestion that heathens rage, it becomes evident that the native inhabitants of this maritime paradise remain unperturbed by the scholarly quarrel unfolding before them. Instead, they observe with amusement and tranquility as these learned individuals navigate their theological differences. The artist behind this print skillfully combines political commentary with humor to shed light on the often contentious nature of religious discourse during late 19th-century America. Through this satirical lens, we glimpse into an era where even missionaries grappled with conflicting interpretations of faith. As conservationists advocate for environmentalism today, it is fascinating to reflect on how societal concerns have evolved over time. This Granger Art piece serves as both a historical artifact and an invitation for contemplation about our own contemporary debates surrounding theology and belief systems.
