The Utter Extinction of Slavery an Object of Scripture Prophecy: A Lecture, the Substance of Which Was Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the ... on Tuesday, the 17th of April, 1832 - Softcover
Synopsis
A compelling window into early abolitionist thought, this 1832 lecture argues that slavery must end as a Biblical imperative. It presents the moral case, the social impact, and the right conduct of Christian reformers.
Through the voice of a Baptist minister, readers encounter debates over the role of religion in social justice, the conduct of missionaries in Jamaica, and the call to emancipate enslaved people. The text blends sermon, argument, and contemporary testimony to illuminate a pivotal moment in the abolitionist movement and its faith-based roots.
- A clear moral case against slavery grounded in Christian principles and scripture.
- Insights into missionary work, public accusations, and defenses offered by reformers.
- Discussion of prophetic language, signs of the times, and the imagined future of a slave-free world.
- Context for 19th-century social reform, race, religion, and colonial policy.
Ideal for readers of abolition history, religious history, and 19th-century social reform.
