"The Principles And Results Of The Ministry At Large In Boston" by Joseph Tuckerman explores the groundbreaking social ministry movement in 19th-century Boston. Tuckerman details the principles that guided the Ministry at Large, a pioneering effort to address poverty and social inequality through direct engagement and compassionate support. The book offers insights into the practical methods employed, including home visits, education, and moral guidance, aimed at uplifting the city's most vulnerable populations.
Tuckerman's work provides a historical perspective on the challenges of urban poverty and the innovative approaches developed to combat them. It remains a significant contribution to the history of social work and a testament to the enduring power of faith-based initiatives in addressing societal needs. This book is valuable for historians, social workers, and anyone interested in the roots of modern social welfare practices.
