Originally published in 1847, "Hospitals and Infirmaries Considered as Schools of Christian Education for the Adult Poor" is a thought-provoking exploration of the role of religion in healthcare. Drawing on his own experiences as a clergyman and a hospital chaplain, the author argues that hospitals and infirmaries have an important role to play in educating the poor about the teachings of Christianity. With its powerful message of compassion and empathy, this classic text is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of healthcare or the role of religion in society.
