Synopsis

Can Christian ethics reform modern trade and society?

This volume, the Bampton Lectures for 1907, argues that Christianity must reshape the way we work, buy, and govern. It examines how economic life tests faith and how public opinion can drive lasting change.

In clear, accessible terms, it surveys the moral challenges of modern commerce—from monopolies and competition to deceptive practices and wages. It asks readers to look beyond quick fixes and to consider character formation and shared responsibility as the real solutions.
  • How consumer choices affect honesty and fairness in business
  • Why wages and workplace standards matter for national well‑being
  • The role of Christian public opinion in shaping economic policy
  • The call for unity among Christians to pursue a common moral aim
Ideal for readers seeking a historical perspective on faith and economics, and for those interested in how Christian ethics can inform modern life.
