The belief was long nearly universal," and is yet very general throughout the Christian world, that the Scriptures do, to some extent, justify human slavery, as practised in this country. The object of the following chapters is to controvert this belief, and to prove that it is false and heretical, as well as dangerous and destructive to human happiness; that this belief is founded entirely on perversions of the true meaning of certain passages in the Scriptures, and is entirely contrary to the spirit of the divine volume, the letter of which condemns the practice with as much severity as it did that of any other crime. The following argument is presented for the calm and prayerful consideration of all Christians, both in the North and in the South. The time has come when (as a learned writer justly remarks*), " neither the evidences of the Gospel, nor the solemnities of religion; neither the constitution of the church, nor the rights of its members; neither the divine right of bishops, nor the value of holy orders; neither the spirituality of the soul, nor the materiality of the body, can escape the ordeal of free and full discussion. Shall we, then, think it strange that American slavery, with all its influences on the moral and political destinies of this great and mighty nation, shall, by the spontaneous concession of the whole civilized world, be allowed to escape inquiry, or be exempt from appearing in the presence of this august and powerful tribunal of Free Discussion 1 It cannot be imagined. Come it must, and come it will; and we may as well be prepared for it soon as late." * Milennial Harbinger, vol. ii., 3, p. 50. 2 Do not, kind reader, throw this aside, as...

Excerpt from A Condensed Anti-Slavery Bible Argument A multitude of things must ever bind my affections to the South. I was born on the banks of Virginia's beautiful river Potomac, where my parents spent a considerable portion of their existence, almost in sight of the place where the mortal remains of Washington are deposited. Almost all my relations are there, or in slaveholding states. All my early associations, all those untold bonds that bind us to the scenes of infancy and youth, most of those moral ties which unite us to those we love, for whom we have often prayed, and with whom we have taken sweet counsel together, and walk ed unto the house of God in company - are Virginians. With all thy faults I love thee still, my country - and still must love thee. Fellow-citizens, examine with me this important subject - and follow the guidance of the lamp of life in the path of duty, which is the sure road to Heaven. And let us remember the example of Virginia's noblest son, the Father of his country, who at the last hour, when the soul, in the light of an approaching eter nity, sees with peculiar clearness the boundaries which separate the wrong from the right, restored his slaves to their natural rights. And let us imitate one of Kentucky's bright stars, C. M. Clay, who in the face of all Opposition emancipated thirteen slaves, while yet in health of mind and body.

This book was written 27 years before the Abolition of Slavery in America in 1865. Weld was a prime mover in the Abolitionist movement and his seminal work, 'Slavery As It Is - Testimony of 1000 Witnesses' was the inspiration for 'Uncle Tom's Cabin'. Weld uses many quotes and examples from the Bible in 'The Bible Against Slavery' and also the Ten Commandments - particularly Thou Shalt Not Steal and Thos Shalt Not Covet.

The Bible Against Slavery is a study on the subject of human rights written by American abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld with the goal to refute the argument that Bible supports slavery. The Bible contains many references to slavery, which was a common practice in antiquity. However, the slavery mentioned in the Bible is quite different from chattel slavery practiced in the American South, and in some cases the word "slave" is a mistranslation. The author claims that the spirit of slavery never seeks shelter in the Bible.
