Book Overview
In Ministers of Mercy, James Henry Franklin provides a detailed account of the work of Protestant city missionaries in the United States during the late 19th century. Franklin highlights the challenges these missionaries faced as they sought to provide relief to the urban poor amidst the chaotic and rapidly changing landscape of American cities. Drawing heavily on contemporary accounts and personal interviews with city missionaries, Ministers of Mercy offers a compelling look into this often-overlooked aspect of American religious and social history.
