Abstract
The most important fact about the life of John Venn was that he was born into the Venn family, whose twin heritage of a clerical and an Evangelical dynasty created the expectations that he was to live up to and determined his room for existential maneuver. This chapter explores Venn's upbringing as the private application of the familial ideal that the Venn family self-consciously created and publicly advocated. Drawing on the extensive family archive - primarily the Parentalia and Annals of a Clerical Family - as well as Venn's own autobiographical recollections recorded in the "Annals," it develops an understanding of the Venn family household as a domestic site where certain Evangelical ideals and standards were turned into practice. The aim is to find in John Venn's motherless youth a starting point of his religious identity, to be built on in future chapters, while contributing to a better grasp of the nature of an Evangelical upbringing in 1830s Britain, in which God permeated every part of daily life, within one of the most prominent Evangelical families of the Victorian era.
