An Inquiry Into The Scriptural Views Of Slavery (1857)

An Inquiry Into The Scriptural Views Of Slavery is a book written by Albert Barnes in 1857. The book is an exploration of the Bible's teachings on slavery, particularly in the context of the United States at the time. Barnes, a Presbyterian minister and theologian, argues that the Bible does not condone the practice of slavery, despite the fact that many slaveholders at the time used the Bible to justify their actions. He examines various passages from the Old and New Testaments and argues that they do not support the idea that one person can own another. Barnes also discusses the history of slavery in the United States and the arguments made by abolitionists and pro-slavery advocates. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the religious and moral debates surrounding slavery in the mid-19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old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.
