Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the biblical basis for the institution of chattel slavery in the United States, the doctrinal differences between what the author terms "Conservative," "Abolitionist," and "Pro-Slavery" viewpoints of the mid-19th century, and the role of the church in relation to the issue of slavery. The author argues for the compatibility of slavery with the Christian faith, and contends that the duty of the church is to teach enslaved people to be submissive and respectful toward their masters, while also imploring masters to treat their human property with kindness and mercy. The author argues that chattel slavery is not intrinsically sinful, but rather a legal relationship, the morality of which must be assessed on a case-by-case basis, taking into account mitigating circumstances. He further claims that the New Testament does not condemn chattel slavery, and that the abolitionist view that it does is a form of fanaticism. The author's position is helpfully contextualized in the useful introductory material and end notes of the editor, who details the historical and doctrinal background against which the author's writings must be understood.
