The Church And Slavery

""The Church and Slavery"" by Albert Barnes is a historical account of the role of Christianity and the Church in the institution of slavery.

The book provides a nuanced perspective on the complex relationship between Christianity and slavery and sheds light on the moral and ethical dilemmas faced by those who sought to reconcile their faith with the practice of owning human beings. Overall, ""The Church and Slavery"" is a thought-provoking and informative read for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the role of religion in social justice movements.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
