A Testimony Against That Anti-Christian Practice of Making Slaves of Men (Classic Reprint): Wherein It Is Shewed to Be Contrary to the Dispensation of ... Both to Grace and Nature (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A principled, scripture-grounded critique of slavery from an 18th‑century Quaker perspective.

This work makes a clear case that enslaving people, including children, conflicts with biblical teaching and humane principle. It argues that freedom and dignity come from God, and that mercy, not ownership, should guide how we treat every person.

- Grounds its claim in both Old and New Testament passages.
- Compares Christian conduct with other traditions to highlight consistency with justice and liberty.
- Explains how the gospel call to love one’s neighbor undercuts the idea of making slaves.
- challenges common justifications for slavery with moral and theological reasoning.

Ideal for readers of religious history, abolition-era writings, and anyone exploring how faith engages questions of human liberty and ethics.
