Poor Man’s Earl (Audio)
an introduction to Lord Shaftesbury, the great reformer
By John Pollock
Foreword by Os Guinness
(2008)
David Aikman narrates this exclusive Trinity Forum Reading selection that helps us think about the connection between privilege and responsibility.
“Poor Man’s Earl,” a Trinity Forum Reading exclusive, is an introduction to the life and work of the seventh Earl of Shaftesbury, the great reformer who lived during the Industrial Revolution. As one biographer writes, no one has “ever done more to lessen the extent of human misery or to add to the sum total of human happiness.”
The foreword by Os Guinness connects Shaftesbury’s times and our own, and locates his enduring legacy in his demonstration of the essential link between privilege and responsibility in a prosperous society.
This audio edition is narrated by David Aikman, a Senior Fellow of The Trinity Forum and an award-winning author and journalist. It is packaged in a handsome CD-sized case designed for safe shipping.
