Slavery And Infidelity

Slavery And Infidelity is a book written by William Weston Patton in 1856. The book examines the relationship between slavery and religion, arguing that the practice of slavery within the church leads to infidelity in the world. Patton argues that the acceptance of slavery by religious institutions is a violation of Christian principles, and that it ultimately undermines the credibility of the church in the eyes of non-believers.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the relationship between slavery and religion. Patton begins by examining the biblical basis for slavery, arguing that the passages often cited in support of the practice are taken out of context and do not condone the enslavement of human beings. He goes on to argue that the practice of slavery is fundamentally incompatible with Christian principles of love, compassion, and equality.Patton also discusses the role of the church in perpetuating slavery, arguing that many religious institutions have been complicit in the enslavement of African Americans. He points out that many prominent religious leaders owned slaves, and that the church often provided a moral justification for the practice.Throughout the book, Patton emphasizes the importance of ending slavery as a means of promoting Christian values and ideals. He argues that the church must take a stand against slavery if it is to remain relevant and credible in the eyes of the world.Overall, Slavery And Infidelity is a powerful critique of the relationship between slavery and religion. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the role of the church in perpetuating slavery, and underscores the importance of promoting social justice and equality in the name of Christian values.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
