The Cross Or The Pound, Which? (1900)

The Cross Or The Pound, Which? is a book written by Joseph Gladding Pangborn and published in 1900. The book explores the relationship between religion and money, specifically in the context of American society at the turn of the 20th century. Pangborn argues that there is a tension between the pursuit of wealth and the practice of Christianity, and that individuals must choose between the two. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between money and religion. Pangborn discusses the role of money in society, the ethics of wealth accumulation, and the ways in which Christianity can be compromised by a focus on financial success. He also provides examples of individuals who have chosen to prioritize their faith over their financial interests, and argues that this is the only way to live a truly fulfilling life. Overall, The Cross Or The Pound, Which? is a thought-provoking exploration of a timeless question: what is the true value of money, and how should we balance our financial interests with our spiritual beliefs? Pangborn's writing is clear and persuasive, and his arguments are grounded in both religious and secular perspectives. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersection of economics and spirituality, and is still relevant today despite being over a century old.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
