Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Bible Against Slavery by Stephen M. Vail is a comprehensive study of the biblical teachings that oppose slavery. The author argues that the Bible is unequivocally against slavery and that the institution of slavery was a result of human sinfulness and not a divine mandate. Vail examines the biblical texts that have been used to justify slavery and argues that they have been misinterpreted. He also provides a historical overview of the abolitionist movement and the role that the Bible played in it. The book is well-researched and provides a thorough analysis of the biblical teachings on slavery. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of slavery and the role that religion played in its abolition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
