This book unearths the practical social theology of the 19th
Century Church in Scotland. It has been widely believed that the
church was largely mute on the widespread poverty and deprivation
which accompanied the rapid expanse of urban life. This study
asserts that the church was not lacking in commitment to improving
such conditions, through the example of theologians Robert Flint
and the parish minister Frederick Lockhart Robertson. Flint's
publication of Christ's Kingdom upon Earth led the Church of
Scotland in Glasgow to investigate slum housing conditions and led
to the idea that religion could not be complacent about the need
for social action. It shines new light on the history of the Church
of Scotland. It shows how religion was a reforming movement in an
age of deprivation. It highlights the importance of social
reformist writers within the Church.
