Synopsis

""Peter Claver: A Sketch Of His Life And Labors In Behalf Of The African Slave"" is a biography of the Catholic missionary and saint, Peter Claver. Written by Joseph M. Finotti, the book provides a comprehensive account of Claver's life and work in advocating for the rights of African slaves during the 17th century. It covers his early years in Spain, his decision to become a missionary in the New World, and his arrival in Cartagena, Colombia, where he spent over 40 years ministering to African slaves who were brought to the port city. The book also explores Claver's efforts to alleviate the suffering of the slaves by providing them with food, clothing, and medical care, as well as his work to convert them to Christianity. The author draws on a range of primary sources, including Claver's own letters and writings, to provide a detailed and engaging portrait of this remarkable figure in Catholic history. Overall, ""Peter Claver: A Sketch Of His Life And Labors In Behalf Of The African Slave"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Catholic Church, the struggle for social justice, and the lives of those who have dedicated themselves to the service of others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
