Synopsis
A rigorous examination of how Scripture addresses slavery and why the Bible’s own laws argue against it. This nonfiction work compares Mosaic servitude with American slaveholding, arguing that biblical texts, when read in their context, support emancipation rather than endorsement of oppression. It presents a historical look at laws, rhetoric, and religious arguments from the colonial to the early republic era.
This edition lays out the central claim in clear terms and shows how religious reasoning has influenced views on liberty and human dignity. It challenges readers to weigh legal practices, moral questions, and faith-based justifications in the broader story of abolition.
- Reads the contrast between Mosaic slavery provisions and practices in the United States.
- Explains how religious arguments have been used to defend, and to challenge, slavery.
- Offers a sustained critique of slaveholding laws and the role of churches in social reform.
- Points to the historical arc toward emancipation and the limits of legal protections for enslaved people.
Ideal for readers of religious history, moral philosophy, and debates on slavery, who seek a careful, biblically grounded critique of the era's laws and arguments.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book dives into the complex and controversial issue of slavery, exploring its presence throughout history and examining its relationship to the Bible. The author delves into the arguments made by both those who support and oppose slavery, specifically focusing on the Scriptural justifications presented for the institution. The book examines the prevalence of slavery in ancient societies, including the times of the Patriarchs, the Egyptians, and the Hebrews, tracing the evolution of servitude and exploring its presence in the New Testament. The author meticulously analyzes Biblical passages and interprets them in light of the broader context of the time, highlighting the inconsistencies and ambiguities found in the Biblical texts regarding slavery. The book also probes the moral and religious arguments surrounding slavery, challenging the assertion that the Bible endorses or condones the practice. By analyzing the principles espoused by the Bible and juxtaposing them with the realities of slavery, the author offers a powerful perspective on the institution's impact on society and its compatibility with the Christian faith. The author's meticulous examination of the Scriptural argument surrounding slavery provides a powerful and insightful analysis of this contentious issue.
