A bold, scripture-backed challenge to American slavery
This book argues that the Bible does not sanction slaveholding as it exists in the United States, and it calls religious leaders to oppose the system with clear, principled testimony. In a careful comparison of Mosaic laws with the laws of slaveholding states, the author shows how Hebrew rules were intended to modify and eventually abolish servitude, while contemporary statutes in several states sustain and entrench it. The work also surveys how emancipation has been handled in various states and why the current system persists despite moral and religious arguments against it.
- Close look at how the Mosaic approach differs from U.S. laws on slavery
- Discussion of emancipation practices and the barriers that remain
- Analysis of the role of religion and ministers in shaping public opinion
- A call for moral reform grounded in biblical principles

The author delves into the arguments made by both those who support and oppose slavery, specifically focusing on the Scriptural justifications presented for the institution. The book examines the prevalence of slavery in ancient societies, including the times of the Patriarchs, the Egyptians, and the Hebrews, tracing the evolution of servitude and exploring its presence in the New Testament. The author meticulously analyzes Biblical passages and interprets them in light of the broader context of the time, highlighting the inconsistencies and ambiguities found in the Biblical texts regarding slavery. The book also probes the moral and religious arguments surrounding slavery, challenging the assertion that the Bible endorses or condones the practice. By analyzing the principles espoused by the Bible and juxtaposing them with the realities of slavery, the author offers a powerful perspective on the institution's impact on society and its compatibility with the Christian faith.
