Laicus; Or, the Experiences of a Layman in a Country Parish is a reflective Christian fiction novel by Lyman Abbott, first published in 1872. The narrative follows a layman as he transitions from the pulpit to the pews, exploring the dynamics of church life in a small American parish. The protagonist grapples with faith, church politics, and personal spirituality, influenced by his wife, Jennie, and the local infidel, Mr. Gear. This work offers a unique perspective on the tension between traditional religious values and emerging rationalist ideas during the late 19th century.
