“A richly documented study of religion and wealth in which Philadelphia’s leading citizens appear not as ‘robber barons,’ but rather as complex moral actors. . . . Essential reading for anyone interested in the vital intersection of religion and capitalism in modern American history.”
—Heath W. Carter, Journal of the Gilded Age and Progressive Era
