Book Overview

""A Scriptural, Ecclesiastical And Historical View Of Slavery From The Days Of The Patriarch Abraham, To The Nineteenth Century"" is a book written by John Henry Hopkins and published in 1864. The book provides a comprehensive overview of slavery from a religious, historical, and cultural perspective. Hopkins examines the role of slavery in the Bible and the early Christian church, as well as its impact on society throughout history. The book also discusses the abolitionist movement and the debates surrounding slavery in the United States during the mid-19th century. Hopkins argues that while slavery is not inherently sinful, it can be abused and misused, and that it is ultimately incompatible with Christian values of love and justice. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of history, religion, and social justice, as well as anyone interested in understanding the complex issues surrounding slavery and its legacy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
