God's Chosen Fast

"God's Chosen Fast; Or, What Shall We Do for Our Poorer Brethren in the Wynds and Closes?" by James Peddie addresses the intersection of religious observance and social responsibility. Peddie explores the concept of fasting as a means not only of spiritual discipline but also of practical assistance to the impoverished. Focusing on the "wynds and closes" (narrow lanes and alleys) of urban areas, the book likely delves into the living conditions of the poor and proposes solutions rooted in Christian principles. This work provides insight into 19th-century social reform movements and the role of religious belief in addressing poverty and inequality.
