Excerpt from Christianity and Emancipation
Keeping this in mind, I ask again, does christianity sanction slavery? But we must also define Christian ity. The Ghent professor, with the very art of Vola taire, confounds Christianity with the Roman Catholic Church, and thus charges Upon the gospel the hostility to liberty. Which he alleges against that church. But Christianity. Is not to be identified with any ecclesiasti cal system, nor with the opinions and practices of any of its ministers or professors. It has its own text-book.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book re-examines the history of Christianity's stance on slavery, bringing to light new evidence of an anti-slavery message in the religion's foundational texts. Despite the current dogma among some modern religious groups that the Bible condones slavery, the author contends that the core teachings of Christianity, as they were understood and practiced by the earliest believers, were fundamentally incompatible with the institution of chattel slavery. Exploring the New Testament writings, the author argues that the idea that Christianity sanctions slavery is a gross misinterpretation of these texts and amounts to a slander against the gospel itself. Instead, the author presents a compelling case that the teachings of Jesus and his apostles, when properly understood, provide a powerful argument against the evils of slavery. This book offers a timely and important contribution to the debate over the relationship between religion and slavery, shedding fresh light on one of the most controversial issues facing Christianity today.
