Q. I Wish to ask several questions ra specting the M. E. Church and slavery; but before I do this, I Wish to know some~ thing about the views of Mr. Wesley and his followersin England. The slave trade was extensively earned on during the Whole of Mr. Wesley' s life. Christians were generally asleep on the subject and many professors of religion and some min isters of the gospel were extensively en gaged in the atrocious business of the slave trade, even at the time of Mr. Vvesley's death, and for some years afterward.

The Methodist E. Church and Slavery (Classic Reprint)

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex and often contradictory relationship between the Methodist Episcopal Church and the institution of slavery in the United States. The author meticulously traces the evolution of the church's stance on slavery, from its early and fervent opposition under the leadership of John Wesley and Francis Asbury, to its gradual shift towards a more accommodating and even pro-slavery position in the 19th century. Through a careful examination of historical documents, including conference minutes, sermons, and personal journals, the author reveals a stark contrast between the church's initial commitment to abolition and its later acceptance of slaveholding members and ministers. This book explores the theological justifications, political pressures, and economic realities that shaped the church's evolving position on this critical social issue. The author's analysis extends beyond the Methodist Episcopal Church to encompass the broader context of the abolitionist movement and the growing sectional divide in the United States. By highlighting the church's internal struggles and external conflicts over slavery, this book offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of religion, morality, and politics during a pivotal period in American history. Ultimately, it serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges and contradictions inherent in reconciling faith with the realities of a society grappling with deeply ingrained injustices.
