Excerpt from Lectures on Slavery: Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Cincinnati, July First and Third, 1845
IT was my purpose, when the following discourses were delivered, to publish them. The importance of doing so, is the more evident from the very gross misrepresentations of them by the editors of the Abolitionist papers of this city. From those gentlemen, I regret to be obliged to say, I ex peet nothing like fairness or candor in their representations of my views of slavery. I deem it proper, therefore, to give them to the public, that candid men may judge for themselves both of the positions taken, and of the argu ments by which they are sustained.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. The author, a nineteenth century minister, addresses the fierce debate on slavery happening in both the American church and society. He argues that slavery was a prevalent practice in Bible times and that the Bible nowhere teaches that slave-holding is inherently sinful, though cruelty and injustice to slaves are forbidden. Slave-holding can be a justified practice according to Scripture when circumstances warrant it. The author refutes the Abolitionist position that slave-holding is always and everywhere a sin requiring excommunication from the Church, especially considering that the apostles welcomed slave-holders into the early Christian community and did not require them to free their slaves.
