Synopsis

This book centers upon the clergy's political rights and duties, arguing that ministers have the right and responsibility to speak out against injustice. The author, a minister himself, examines the history of clergy involvement in politics, from the earliest days of the American republic to the mid-19th century. He argues that while ministers should not engage in partisan politics, they have a duty to speak out against moral evils such as slavery. The book is a powerful and persuasive argument for the importance of the clergy's voice in the public square. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American religion, politics, or social reform.
