| Summary |
"Theology in Romance: or, the Catechism and the Dermott Family" by Mrs. Madeline Leslie and Rev. A. R. Baker is a religious educational narrative written in the mid-19th century. The work aims to elucidate key Christian theological concepts through engaging storytelling, centered around the Dermott family as they engage in a catechism that blends moral lessons with insights on divine nature and human existence. The family members, particularly the children, are depicted in a lively manner as they explore deep spiritual truths through discussions with their mother. The opening of this work introduces the reader to the Dermott family gathered around a warm fire, excitedly engaged in catechizing—a method of teaching using Biblical questions and answers. The first chapter focuses on the chief end of man, which is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Mrs. Dermott initiates a discussion with her children using a catechetical format, illustrating her teachings with heartfelt stories, including that of Little Lotty, a child deeply connected with her faith. This cheerful yet reflective setting serves as the backdrop for the family's exploration of their Christian faith, highlighting themes of divine purpose, spiritual duty, and the foundational principles underpinning their beliefs.
