Synopsis

This book is the transcript of a sermon delivered by a minister in response to the perceived tension between preaching righteousness and the increasingly political nature of slavery in the United States. The author argues that the pulpit is the ideal place from which to discuss such issues, as it is the responsibility of the minister to speak out against injustice. Despite the fact that some feel the subject is too controversial for the pulpit, the author maintains it is one of the most important topics that should be discussed in a religious setting. The book includes a discussion of the various arguments against preaching about slavery, and the author's responses to these arguments. It also includes a discussion of the importance of speaking out against injustice, and the role that the pulpit can play in this.
