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.
