By Samuel Richard Bosanquet

Book Overview

The book ""The Rights of the Poor and Christian Almsgiving Vindicated: Or The State and Character of the Poor and the Conduct and Duties of the Rich"" by Samuel R. Bosanquet is a comprehensive study of the poor and the rich in society, and how their respective roles and responsibilities should be understood and practiced. The book explores the state and character of the poor, their rights, and the social and economic factors that contribute to their situation. It also delves into the conduct and duties of the rich, particularly in relation to their obligation to help the poor and alleviate their suffering. Bosanquet argues that Christian almsgiving is not just a moral duty, but a legal right of the poor, and that the rich have a responsibility to provide for the needs of the less fortunate members of society. He also discusses the various forms of charity and assistance that can be provided to the poor, and how they can be most effectively and efficiently implemented. Overall, ""The Rights of the Poor and Christian Almsgiving Vindicated"" is a thought-provoking and insightful book that sheds light on the complex issues surrounding poverty and wealth, and provides a compelling argument for the importance of compassion, generosity, and social justice in building a more equitable and humane society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
