The Christian Doctrine Of Slavery Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Slavery With the hope of doing something toward bringing God's people, North and South, to "see eye to eye" on the much vexed question of Slavery, this little book has been written, and is now given to the public. Throughout, the author has kept these two ends in view: - 1. A faithful exhibition of the doctrine respecting Slavery taught by Christ and his Apostles. Nothing which they taught, has been intentionally omitted. No topic which they omitted - however essential to a full discussion of Slavery as a civil and political question, it may be - has been introduced. As the simplest method of exhibting the true meaning of the text, the author has given a paraphrase of each passage of Scripture particularly examined, and in connection with his own, the paraphrases of Whitby, McKnight, and Doddridge, expositors of established reputation both for piety and learning, that the reader may have at hand the means of determining whether or not he is putting forth novelties in the interpretation of God's Word: together with such notes as seemed needful to illustrate and establish the paraphrase.
