A Testimony Against That Anti-Christian Practice of Making Slaves of Men (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
A principled, scripture-grounded critique of slavery from an 18th‑century Quaker perspective.
This work makes a clear case that enslaving people, including children, conflicts with biblical teaching and humane principle. It argues that freedom and dignity come from God, and that mercy, not ownership, should guide how we treat every person.
- Grounds its claim in both Old and New Testament passages.
- Compares Christian conduct with other traditions to highlight consistency with justice and liberty.
- Explains how the gospel call to love one’s neighbor undercuts the idea of making slaves.
- challenges common justifications for slavery with moral and theological reasoning.
Ideal for readers of religious history, abolition-era writings, and anyone exploring how faith engages questions of human liberty and ethics.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1729-1730 and published in 1733, delves into the controversial practice of slavery. The author, a minister of the Society of Friends, presents a powerful argument against slavery, drawing upon religious principles, scriptural interpretations, and his personal experiences. The book is positioned within the broader context of the burgeoning abolitionist movement in the early 18th century, a time when Quaker voices were particularly vocal in denouncing the moral and ethical failings of the transatlantic slave trade. The author lays out a compelling case against slavery by exploring its inherent contradiction to Christian values and principles. He argues that enslaving another person violates God's command to love one's neighbor, and ultimately strips them of their God-given right to freedom. The book also explores the hypocrisy of a society that claims to uphold Christian principles while simultaneously engaging in the practice of slavery. The author's impassioned plea for the abolition of slavery speaks to a fundamental human right that transcends cultural and social barriers. This book offers a glimpse into the early days of the abolitionist movement, showcasing the moral courage and intellectual rigor of those who challenged the prevailing norms of their time. The author's eloquent arguments, rooted in faith and reason, serve as a timeless reminder of the enduring struggle for human dignity and freedom.
