The Supremacy Of God's Word Asserted: In Reference To Certain Articles Written By Alethes In Defense Of The Fugitive Slave Bill (1851) - Softcover
Synopsis
The Supremacy of God's Word Asserted: In Reference to Certain Articles Written by Alethes in Defense of the Fugitive Slave Bill is a book written by Nathaniel West in 1851. The book is a response to the pro-slavery arguments put forth by Alethes, a pseudonym for an unknown author who wrote in support of the Fugitive Slave Bill. West argues that the Bible is the ultimate authority on moral and ethical issues, and that slavery is contrary to the teachings of the Bible. He uses biblical passages and theological arguments to refute Alethes' arguments and to assert the supremacy of God's word over human laws and institutions. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates over slavery in the United States in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old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.
