Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the institution of slavery, specifically as it was practiced and justified by Christians in the Antebellum South, through the lens of the writings of the Rt. Rev. Dr. John Henry Hopkins, Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont. The author contends that Hopkins's defense of slavery on Biblical grounds was an outlier position, even at the time it was published, and illustrates the deep ideological divisions within American Christianity on the eve of the Civil War. The book includes an extensive refutation of Hopkins's arguments, arguing instead that the true spirit of Christianity is incompatible with the institution of chattel slavery. It is a vital and timely contribution to our national conversation about Christianity and race.
