Excerpt from The Church and the Slave Power
N ow we presume it is sufficiently correct to say, that the Apostles preached the gospel both to the master and the slave and on the profession of their faith received them at once into the Church, without Obliging the master to abjure the legal relation, at least in any open or formal manner. But while so much is admitted, it must be borne in mind that the higher law of love at once did away with all cruelty, all whips, all chains, all imperious conduct, and the master and slave sat down to the same table of the Lord, and wor shipped together in the same assembly; wrought together at the same occupations, worshipped around the same family altar. In a word, the master reserved no rights which the golden rule or the law of love would accord to the bondman.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in the midst of the turbulent 1850s, grapples with a critical question: what is the role of the Christian in a society grappling with slavery? The author, a minister himself, explores the relationship between civil law and the dictates of faith, arguing that obedience to God must supersede obedience to any earthly power that violates his law. He examines the Bible, specifically the teachings of the Apostles, to demonstrate that slavery contradicts both the Old and New Testaments and the natural rights of all people. The author passionately condemns slavery as a violation of both the first and second tables of the law, and argues that it must be abolished through moral persuasion, and that Christians must work for its eventual end. The book offers a powerful and timely insight into the moral and theological debates surrounding slavery in the United States, making it a vital resource for understanding the complex religious and political landscape of the 19th century.
