The Devil of To-Day - 1905
Summary by Perplexity: "The Devil of To-Day," published in 1906 by Reverend Isaiah Mench Chambers......is an allegorical work analyzing the subtle and pervasive influences of evil within everyday life, specifically focusing on its presence in the church, the home, and society at large. The narrative adopts a searching tone that examines moral conflicts and the manipulations of the “Devil” as a thematic device, reflecting turn-of-the-century concerns about social and spiritual decay during a time marked by growing industrialization, increased urbanization, and widespread interest in spiritualism and the occult. This period in American culture saw many authors exploring the struggle between good and evil using allegory, parallel to fears about modernization undermining traditional values.books.google+2Reverend Isaiah Mench Chambers was born in 1865 as the son of William Chambers. He pursued theological studies at Dickinson Seminary and had an active career as a minister, living and serving in various communities including Camden and Palmyra, New Jersey. Chambers was twice married and known for his educational and evangelical work.
