William Cunningham (1849-1919) was a Scottish-born historian of economics and an Anglican priest, who rose to the title Archdeacon of Ely, at the time of the book’s publication. His career and accomplishments netted him the further title of FBA, Fellow of the British Academy, given to scholars residing in the United Kingdom. From the author’s preface: “ The bearing of Christian teaching on the life of the community is a matter of great interest from many points of view. There has been the greatest difference of opinion between different bodies of Christians as to the mode of bringing Christianity to bear on political life, and the differences are so fundamental that it is worth while to examine them in turn, and see how far each opinion has justified itself as a matter of practical experience. The more we are aware of the danger of giving exaggerated importance to any half truth, the better prospect there will be of finding common ground, on which all can work together without any sacrifice of principle.” Book’s been stored in a smoke free home with three short haired pets.
