By Gilbert Wakefield

Book Overview

""A Letter to William Wilberforce: On the Subject of His Late Publication"" is a book written by Gilbert Wakefield in 1797. The book is a response to Wilberforce's publication, ""A Practical View of the Prevailing Religious System of Professed Christians in the Higher and Middle Classes in this Country Contrasted with Real Christianity."" Wakefield, a dissenting minister and scholar, critiques Wilberforce's views on religion and morality, arguing that they are based on a narrow interpretation of Christianity. He also challenges Wilberforce's support for the slave trade and argues for the abolition of slavery. The book provides insight into the religious and political debates of the late 18th century and offers a unique perspective on the work of one of the most influential figures of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
