Questioning the case for slavery through scripture and history

This concise volume offers a pointed critique of a pamphlet that defends the slave trade by biblical argument. It frames the debate with direct scriptural analysis and contrasts ancient examples with Christian principles of liberty and justice.

The book presents a careful examination of where religion and law intersect with human rights, inviting readers to weigh authority, context, and moral responsibility in the long, troubling history of slavery.

Accessible discussion of how Old and New Testament ideas are used in arguments about slavery
Clear questions about authority, interpretation, and the reach of religious law
Historical context for debates that shaped abolitionist thought
Rhetorical and scholarly method that highlights the differences between creed and conduct

Ideal for readers interested in religious history, ethics, and the roots of abolitionist discourse.
