A Scriptural Argument in Favor of Withdrawing Fellowship (Classic Reprint): From Churches and Ecclesiastical Bodies Tolerating Slaveholding Among ... Slaveholding Among Them (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Withdrawing Fellowship helps readers grasp a clear, principled call to action against slaveholding in the church.

This nonfiction work presents a historical and scriptural case for separating from churches, ministers, and ecclesiastical bodies that tolerate or practice slavery. The argument centers on ensuring the gospel’s integrity and the church’s witness in a divided society, urging readers to consider practical steps when fellowship becomes incompatible with core Christian ethics.

The book frames the issue around moral accountability for individuals and for church bodies alike, arguing that tolerance or support for slaveholding is a breach of gospel duty. It contrasts civil authority with divine law and emphasizes personal responsibility, urging consistent action rather than selective condemnation.

• Understand the core claim that the gospel requires separating from those who tolerate grave injustice.
• Explore how historic church bodies have responded to slaveholding and what that means for present-day fellowship.
• Learn about the proposed criteria and practical steps for withdrawing from problematic congregations or alliances.
• Receive a framework for evaluating conscience, duty, and unity in the face of systemic wrongdoing.

Ideal for readers seeking a principled discussion on religious accountability, church unity, and moral action in historical and contemporary contexts.
