Synopsis
Exploring how 19th-century religious thinkers argued about slavery and duty. This work offers a careful look at how Christian perspectives were used to defend, justify, and critique slavery, tracing the ideas through biblical interpretation, history, and public debate.

- Explore the historical context of 19th-century religious debates and their influence on public opinion.
- Understand the tensions between mercy, justice, and social order as treated by proponents and critics alike.
