Paperback. Condizione: 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.
