"Phyllis of Philistia" by Frank Frankfort Moore is a novel likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative centers around Phyllis Ayrton, a young woman caught in a conflict between societal expectations and her personal beliefs, particularly concerning her engagement to George Holland, a clergyman whose unorthodox views challenge her convictions. As discussions unfold between Phyllis and her father about marriage, morality, and faith, the stage is set for her inner turmoil regarding her betrothal and her struggle with fidelity to her principles. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Phyllis and her father, Mr. Ayrton, who engage in a philosophical discussion regarding marriage and the ramifications of George's controversial views on Biblical figures. Phyllis expresses her deep disappointment in George's perspective, asserting that he has abandoned key truths about the sacred texts. As she grapples with the implications of her feelings, particularly following the publication of George's provocative book, "Revised Versions," her struggle deepens, leading her towards a decision that could define her future. The opening sets a tone of introspection and societal critique, where Phyllis’s journey represents a broader commentary on the tensions between tradition and modern thought.
