Synopsis

This book consists of a series of extracts from a religious text called the Book of Common Prayer alongside observations from the author, a clergyman deeply involved in the movement to repeal the Corn Laws at a time when food was scarce and bread was costly. The author argues powerfully that the principles of the Christian faith demand justice and mercy, freedom from hunger and poverty, and that defending the profits of landowners by keeping the price of bread high is a violation of these principles. Examples from Scripture and Biblical teachings are provided to support this line of argument and demonstrate the author's belief that faith in action should extend to the pursuit of social and economic justice.
