About this title

Synopsis

A historical examination of how faith and charity illuminate the arc of modern progress.

This pair of lectures argues that religious intention and charitable work have shaped culture, learning, and global mission as much as science and industry.

In clear, accessible prose, the work surveys the era’s contrasts—vast invention and deep doubt—while highlighting the enduring power of Catholic devotion and organized charity to uplift lives around the world. It presents a portrait of religious courage, the spread of mission work, and the bold efforts of lay and clerical groups to serve the poor.
What you’ll experience

A concise look at how religion and morals are linked to public life and national character.
An overview of charitable organizations active in the age, including their aims and reach.
Reflections on how faith informs education, art, and global missions across cultures.
A framing of progress that honors both scientific advancement and spiritual duty.

Ideal for readers of religious history, social reform, and the Catholic tradition who want a focused, era-spanning perspective on progress and its dangers.

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
