Christianity And Slavery

""Christianity and Slavery"" by Joseph McCabe is a historical and theological examination of the role of Christianity in the institution of slavery. The book explores the history of slavery in the ancient world and how Christianity emerged as a religion that rejected the practice of slavery. McCabe examines the teachings of Jesus and the early Christian church, as well as the role of Christian leaders and institutions in the abolitionist movement. The book also delves into the complex relationship between Christianity and slavery in the United States, including the role of Christian slave owners and the use of biblical justifications for slavery. Throughout the book, McCabe argues that Christianity has a complicated relationship with slavery, and that while it has been used to justify the practice, it has also been a powerful force for its abolition. Overall, ""Christianity and Slavery"" provides a comprehensive analysis of the intersection of religion, morality, and politics in the history of slavery.Contents: Paganism And Slavery, The Gospel And The Slave, The Christian Serf, Black Slavery, The Churches And The Workers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
