The American Catholic Land Movement: Past, Present, and Future
By Jason M. Craig & R. Jared Staudt, PhD · Published by TAN Books
Overview
This collection of twelve essays traces the history of Catholic agrarian experiment in America, from missions and immigrant homesteads to modern efforts at family‑based land stewardship. It shows how reconnecting work with faith and soil can foster community, virtue, and a distinctively Catholic social vision rooted in the land. The book calls readers to reflect on whether America’s soil can still yield spiritual renewal, Christian freedom, and homegrown virtue for families and parishes.
Presents a coherent narrative of the American Catholic land tradition through 12 scholarly essays
Explores the impact of key movements such as the Southern Agrarians, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, and the Catholic Worker movement
Analyzes modern efforts—like local, family‑based economic initiatives and homesteading—as practical responses to social and economic challenges
Offers thoughtful proposals for how Catholics today can sanctify home and soil, integrating prayer, work, and community life
Reclaims a distinctly American agrarian heritage for Catholics, connecting faith with land, labor, and cultural rootedness
Intended Audience
For adult Catholics, families, parish leaders, and all readers interested in land stewardship, Catholic social teaching, traditional agrarian values, or seeking a holistic vision of Christian life rooted in home, soil, labor, and community.
Key Themes
Catholic agrarian tradition and land stewardship
Integration of work, faith, home, and community
