description: The hilarious and incisive satire of bad preaching was a best seller in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Haidt traces the novel's ploting of the life of a bad- that is, all too human- man whose successful pursit of a career in the pulpit involves a complex mix of naivete and political manipulation, ignorance and ambition, pleasure and perversion, seduction and sacrilege.
