| Summary | "Amusement: A Force in Christian Training" by Marvin R. Vincent is a discursive religious treatise written in the late 19th century. The work examines the complex relationship between Christianity and amusement, arguing for a reevaluation of how amusement is perceived and utilized within the church, especially regarding its impact on youth. Vincent's discussions aim to inspire Christians to engage more thoughtfully with the concept of amusement rather than shunning it altogether. The opening of this text lays the groundwork for Vincent's argument by establishing the necessity of amusement in human life, comparable to food and sleep. He critiques the prevailing attitudes among some Christians, who regard various forms of amusement with suspicion and caution. Vincent highlights the tendency of church leaders to focus excessively on the evils associated with amusements, rather than emphasizing their potential for good. He advocates for an approach that integrates spiritual values within amusements, thus allowing them to be regulated and enjoyed rather than feared and avoided. The preface and initial sections of the book evoke a provocative conversation about balancing Christian principles with the natural human desire for enjoyment.
