This print captures a moment in history from 1831, showcasing followers of Edward Irving known as the Irvingites engaging in a wrestling match with a sinner. The intensity and determination on the faces of the participants reflect their deep conviction in persuading the individual to forsake his evil ways and embrace Christianity.
The scene is not just about physical strength but also spiritual warfare, as these devout believers seek to save a soul from damnation. The historical significance of this image lies in its portrayal of religious fervor and zeal within sects like the Irvingites, shedding light on lesser-known aspects of Christian history.
