Social Christianity in Scotland and Beyond, 1800-2000
How did Christians perceive and respond to new social problems of distinctly modern societies as they developed in Scotland and other countries during the nineteenth century? Amid the complexities of industrialisation, urbanisation, expanding global trade networks, and nascent democratic politics, what kinds of social policies and initiatives did Christians in Scotland pursue and why?

As such, understanding of th…

Until now, scholarship on the education offered in ragged schools has focused on the assessment of government inspectors or the movement’s own literature. Using a collecti…
