The Church And Slavery

The Church and Slavery, written by Albert Barnes, is a historical book that examines the role of the Christian Church in the institution of slavery. The book provides a detailed analysis of the Church's involvement in the slave trade, its attitudes towards slavery, and the ways in which it justified the practice through biblical interpretation. Barnes argues that the Church's support of slavery was a significant factor in perpetuating the institution and that it failed to live up to its moral and ethical responsibilities. The book also explores the efforts of abolitionists within the Church and their struggle to bring about change. Through a combination of historical research and theological analysis, The Church and Slavery offers a comprehensive overview of the complex relationship between the Christian Church and slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
