The Christian and Civic Economy of Large Towns

Originally published in the late 19th century, this text provides a detailed account of the economic and social challenges facing large urban centers at the time. Drawing on a range of contemporary sources, the author argues that Christian principles can and should be applied to the governance of cities in order to promote greater social justice and economic prosperity for all. While some of the specific examples and recommendations may feel outdated, the book remains a valuable historical document for anyone interested in the intersections between religion, politics, and urban development.
