Synopsis
Excerpt from The Slavery Question
The subject is one of great moment in its moral, social and political bearings, considered either in reference to the slaves, their owners, or the country; and those who have the power and who are about to be called upon to decide upon this ques tion, so far as the interests of the Parties in this commonwealth are concerned, should calmly and dispassionately investigate it in all its bearings, so that when they come to act they may be prepared to act conscientiously, and intelligently, and have no occasion to repent of their action when it is too late to undo it.

The Slavery Question (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of the slavery in America in the context of biblical interpretations of slavery in the Old Testament. The author begins by establishing that at the time when the Old Testament laws permitting slavery were penned, slavery was the global norm in many cultures. The author then contextualizes the practice of slavery in ancient Israel, and argues that the Old Testament's laws governing slavery were actually intended to provide protections for those enslaved. In contrast, the author argues that the brutal practice of chattel slavery that emerged in the Americas was a far cry from the Mosaic model. The author concludes by suggesting that the history of slavery in America demands a reevaluation of how we interpret the biblical texts that sanction the practice of slavery, while shedding light on the history of slavery in the United States.
