An Inquiry Into Scriptural and Ancient Servitude, in Which It Is Shown That Neither Was Chattel Slavery (Classic Reprint): With the Remedy for ... Remedy for American Slavery (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

There was no household slavery in the ancient churches’ regions, and an abolitionist plan can work in our time. This concise argument surveys ancient and scriptural evidence to distinguish slavery as a legal, economic system from the personal, familial servitude described in early contexts. It builds a case for emancipation as a practical and moral remedy for American slavery without misrepresenting history.

Drawing on historical sources and careful interpretation, the work argues that slavery in ancient Asia Minor did not resemble the later enslaving systems, and it outlines why this matters for modern debates. It makes a focused, urgent case for abolition as both a national and moral project, while addressing common objections and questions with clear reasoning.
