Contents
Chapters 1 - 5 (pages 1 - 141) introduce Andreae and discuss the place of his Christianopolis in the history of utopian thought; they then consider some of the social and economic implications of his analysis of the ideal community. The concluding chapter (pages 285-313) considers the impact of Christianopolis on the subsequent development of utopian thinking. 
The translation of Christianopolis occupies most of chapter 5 (pages 143-283).
