Bag om A Saint In The Slave Trade

""A Saint in the Slave Trade: Peter Claver 1581-1654"" is a biography of the life of Peter Claver, a Spanish Jesuit priest who dedicated his life to serving African slaves during the 17th century. The book, written by Arnold Lunn, explores Claver's early life, his journey to becoming a Jesuit priest, and his mission to minister to slaves in the New World. Claver arrived in Cartagena, Colombia in 1610, where he encountered the horrific conditions of the African slaves who were brought to the New World for forced labor. He made it his life's work to minister to these slaves, offering them food, clothing, and medical care, as well as spiritual guidance. He was known for his tireless efforts to improve the lives of the slaves, and he became known as the ""slave of the slaves.""The book also delves into the historical context of the slave trade during Claver's time, exploring the role of the Catholic Church in the slave trade and the efforts of other religious figures to improve the lives of slaves. Lunn provides a detailed account of Claver's life and his impact on the lives of the slaves he ministered to, as well as his legacy as a saint in the Catholic Church.Overall, ""A Saint in the Slave Trade: Peter Claver 1581-1654"" offers a fascinating look at the life of a man who dedicated his life to serving those who were marginalized and oppressed, and his impact on the history of the Catholic Church and the fight against slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
