Beskrivelse af A Saint In The Slave Trade
""A Saint In The Slave Trade: Peter Claver 1581-1654"" by Arnold Lunn is a biographical account of the life of Peter Claver, a Jesuit priest who dedicated his life to helping African slaves during the 17th century. Born in Spain in 1581, Claver became a Jesuit at a young age and was sent to the Spanish colonies in South America. There, he witnessed the horrific treatment of African slaves who were brought over to work on plantations.Claver made it his life's mission to help these slaves, despite facing opposition from both slave owners and some members of the Church. He would visit slave ships as they arrived in port, offering food, water, and medical care to the sick and dying. He also taught them about Christianity and provided them with spiritual guidance.The book explores Claver's tireless efforts to improve the lives of slaves, as well as his deep faith and commitment to social justice. It also delves into the political and social context of the time, including the role of the Catholic Church in the slave trade.Overall, ""A Saint In The Slave Trade"" offers a fascinating look at a little-known figure who made a significant impact on the lives of countless slaves during a dark period in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
