This book examines the evolution of rural communities in the United States, arguing that the country church and school serve as indicators of the overall health of these communities. The author traces the historical development of the country church and community through four distinct economic types: the pioneer, the land farmer, the exploiter, and the husbandman. Each economic type created its own kind of community, resulting in successive iterations of church and community. The book discusses the challenges facing rural communities and churches today, particularly the transition from the land farmer and exploiter types to the husbandman type. The author concludes by emphasizing the importance of the country church in providing vision and inspiration to rural communities, arguing that their success is essential for the well-being of the countryside and the nation as a whole.
