Zusammenfassung:
This history of the Protestant commitment to rural America shows how mainline Protestant churches and ecumenical organisations came together in the 20th century to oppose industrial agriculture. In its stead, Christian agrarians believed the health of the nation depended on small rural communities and family farms, and that farming was the most moral way of life. The book explores their philosophical and theological support for agrarianism.
