Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an account of the origin and history of Sunday Schools, a system of teaching illiterate poor people to read the Bible that began in Britain in the 1780s. The author, a journalist and philanthropist, began organizing volunteers to teach Sunday School after being struck by the terrible state of prisoner education in his local jail and observing the appalling social conditions of the urban poor. The author's efforts resulted in teaching poor children to read, using local women as teachers and the Bible as the text. The author's efforts expanded to other churches in his city and the idea spread throughout the country and to the United States. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of education and social reform in the late 18th century and will be of interest to anyone interested in the role of Christianity in education and social welfare.
