  1. Houston, a Reformed Presbyterian leader in Ireland, was clear: Christians feel bound to the imprisoned and compelled toward all human suffering. Modern Christian thought? We’ve innovatively developed ideological tests to determine which sufferers warrant our concern. Thoroughly inspired moral progress.

  6. Bersier, a French Reformed minister, posed an awkwardly sensible question: if you possess leisure whilst others labour ceaselessly, shouldn’t that free time go toward alleviating their suffering?

    Modern response? Eloquent social media denunciations apparently discharge the duty. Quite inspired theology.

  11. Boardman: Providence put Bunyan in Bedford jail to produce Pilgrim’s Progress, and Howard in a French prison to produce the reformer who renovated hospitals and prisons across Christendom. Suffering as preparation for changing society. Conservative Christianity tends to read Providence differently. Also: today’s political prisoners are locked incommunicado. No letters from Birmingham jail emerging from those conditions.

  16. DeWitt, Presbyterian minister at Princeton, observed that charity and Gospel witness aren’t separate pursuits—they’re the same thing. Modern Christianity, displaying remarkable ingenuity, has split them into warring camps. Quite the theological achievement.

    But how can you help the whole person?

  21. Parkhurst—Presbyterian, the man who exposed NYC corruption—describes Christian principles as leaven working through society. Fathers were once despots; husbands tyrants. Now affection and equality. Women increasingly equal before the law. Considerable conservative energy now goes toward reversing these developments, attributing them to secular corruption rather than Christian leaven. Parkhurst would disagree.

  27. Ellinwood extols medical missionaries who brought vaccines, drainage, sanitation, and anesthetics to the developing world—heritage of all nations. Was this distraction from the gospel or its fruit? Certain Christians today pursue a rather different conquest, whose benefits appear less universally distributed.

  31. Barnes: no topic receives more thorough biblical treatment than oppression, and slavery is its perfect embodiment. Everyone agrees oppression is civilization’s most urgent category. The disagreement is purely about which sufferers qualify. On-topic sufferers demand advocacy; mentioning off-topic ones is reframed as oppression itself. Barnes, reading scripture, did not appear to have a list.

    Woman was kind enough to let me take a photo of the Cindy Rigby bobblehead even though it wasn't shelf ready yet.

  45. M’Crie quotes an Inquisition victim who cried out to God, preferring cannibals to his baptized tormentors. M’Crie—a Reformed historian—neither flinches nor excuses it. The title says it all: the Reformation’s heirs were the primary targets, and they’re the ones who preserved the memory. If you’re Christian, don’t be a fiend. If you’re not, consider who kept this story alive, and why.

  50. Robinson—English Presbyterian minister—observes that wealth confers a particular capacity poverty does not: to relieve prisoners, feed the hungry, ransom captives. He frames this as mercy from God, an opportunity rather than mere possession. One notes that considerable contemporary wealth appears directed at the opposite project: persuading the rest of us to feel less compassion for those being imprisoned or starved. Same resource. Rather different application.

  54. Nott reads Job 29 against the poverty of his city. Job didn’t merely give aid; he rescued and delighted the suffering, made the widow’s heart sing. Nott applies this to scenes that would chill one’s blood: snow through roof holes, families without fuel. His response is prayer for relief, not theological satisfaction in the spectacle. Some contemporary commentary manages the opposite.
