A Saint In The Slave Trade

""A Saint in the Slave Trade: Peter Claver 1581-1654"" is a biography written by Arnold Lunn about the life of Peter Claver, a Jesuit missionary who dedicated his life to helping African slaves in the Spanish colonies during the 17th century. The book chronicles Claver's early life in Spain, his decision to become a missionary, and his journey to the New World. It also details the harsh conditions that African slaves endured at the time and how Claver worked tirelessly to provide them with food, clothing, and medical care. Despite facing opposition from both slave owners and fellow Jesuits who did not share his views on the treatment of slaves, Claver continued to advocate for their rights until his death. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life of a man who devoted his life to helping others and highlights the ongoing struggle for social justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
