Synopsis

""An Inquiry Into The Scriptural Views Of Slavery"" is a book written by Albert Barnes in 1857. The book is an exploration of the Bible's teachings on slavery, and Barnes examines the various passages in the Old and New Testaments that address the topic. Barnes was a prominent Presbyterian minister and theologian, and he believed that the Bible was the ultimate authority on all matters of faith and morality. In this book, he seeks to provide a comprehensive analysis of what the Bible says about slavery, and to clarify some of the misconceptions that had arisen around the issue. Barnes argues that while the Bible does not explicitly condemn slavery, it does contain principles that undermine the institution, such as the Golden Rule and the commandment to love one's neighbor as oneself. He also argues that the Bible's teachings on the equality of all people before God and the importance of justice and mercy provide a basis for opposing slavery. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Scriptural Views Of Slavery"" is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of a complex and controversial topic, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the Bible's teachings on slavery.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
