A Scriptural Argument in Favor of Withdrawing Fellowship (Classic Reprint): From Churches and Ecclesiastical Bodies Tolerating Slaveholding Among Them - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A bold call to withdraw fellowship from slaveholding churches, grounded in scriptural principle and moral clarity.
This nonfiction work makes a lucid case that slaveholding is a grave sin to be opposed by church communities. It argues that professed Christians and ecclesiastical bodies must act—politely but firmly—to separate from those who practice or tolerate slavery, while offering support to others who seek reform. The book centers on church discipline, moral responsibility, and the practical steps churches can take in the face of entrenched injustice.
Drawing on historical examples and denominational debates, the author presents a clear framework: if a church or body tolerates slavery, it should face withdrawal of fellowship. It also distinguishes between those who oppose slavery and those who merely tolerate it, urging disciplined, principled action to restore faithfulness to gospel values.
- Arguments for withdrawing fellowship when slaveholding is tolerated within churches and ecclesiastical bodies
- Discussion of practical steps, including admonition and, if needed, separation from implicated groups
- Examples from different denominations showing how discipline can be applied
- Reflection on the moral and civil implications of church actions against the practice
Ideal for readers interested in church history, abolitionist thought, and the moral debates surrounding slavery in America.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book contributes to a wider debate around religious justification for immoral actions, focusing on the specific example of slavery in 19th-century America. The author presents a detailed, ethical argument against the continuation of slavery, drawing extensively on scriptural evidence and the words of Jesus Christ, to suggest that the institution is both a sin against humanity and an offence against God. Examining the views and decisions of various religious groups in the US at the time, the author concludes that religious tolerance of slavery is indefensible and that the church must take a firm stand against it, withdrawing fellowship from all who practice or tolerate the buying and selling of human beings. The author's thoughtful and measured analysis provides an important historical insight into the complexities of the issue of slavery in 19th-century America, and invites readers to reflect on the ethical dilemmas that arise when religious belief and social justice clash.
