Synopsis

The Supremacy Of God�������s Word Asserted: In Reference To Certain Articles Written By Alethes In Defense Of The Fugitive Slave Bill (1851) is a book written by Nathaniel West. The book aims to defend the supremacy of God's word in reference to certain articles written by Alethes in defense of the Fugitive Slave Bill. The Fugitive Slave Bill was a controversial law passed in the United States in 1850, which allowed for the capture and return of runaway slaves to their owners. West argues that the Fugitive Slave Bill is contrary to God's word and that it is the duty of Christians to oppose it. He uses biblical references and theological arguments to support his position. The book is an important historical document, providing insight into the religious and moral debates surrounding slavery in the United States in the mid-19th century.Overall, The Supremacy Of God�������s Word Asserted: In Reference To Certain Articles Written By Alethes In Defense Of The Fugitive Slave Bill (1851) is a significant work that sheds light on the intersection of religion and politics during a pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

About the Author

In 1940, when an automobile accident prematurely claimed Nathanael West's life, he was a relatively obscure writer, the author of only four short novels. West's reputation has grown considerably since then and he is now considered one of the 20th century's major authors. Born in New York, West worked as the night manager of the Kenmore Hotel on East 23rd Street in Manhattan, as a contract scriptwriter for Columbia Pictures in Hollywood, and as a screenwriter for RKO Radio Picture.
