A Christian Commonwealth is a book written by Francis William Newman in 1883. The book is a treatise on the idea of a Christian society and the principles that should govern it. Newman argues that a Christian Commonwealth is necessary for a just and equitable society, and that the principles of Christianity should be the basis for all laws and social institutions. Newman begins the book by discussing the nature of Christianity and its role in society. He argues that Christianity is not simply a set of beliefs, but a way of life that should permeate all aspects of society. He then goes on to discuss the principles that should guide a Christian Commonwealth, including the importance of justice, equality, and compassion. The book also addresses a number of contemporary issues, including the role of government, the nature of property rights, and the importance of education. Newman argues that the government should be guided by Christian principles, and that property should be held in common for the benefit of all. He also emphasizes the importance of education in shaping a Christian society. Overall, A Christian Commonwealth is a thought-provoking book that offers a vision of a just and equitable society guided by Christian principles. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of Christianity and politics, and the role of religion in shaping society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
