A Reply To The Bible View Of Slavery, By J. H. Hopkins, Bishop Of The Diocese Of Vermont (1863)

By H. Drisler

Book Overview

""A Reply to the Bible View of Slavery"" is a book written by H. Drisler in 1863, in response to J. H. Hopkins, the Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont, who had defended slavery as a biblical practice. Drisler argues that slavery is not supported by the Bible and that it is a violation of human rights. He cites various passages from the Bible that condemn slavery and argues that the Bible should be interpreted in the context of its time, when slavery was a common practice. The book is a critique of the pro-slavery arguments that were prevalent in the United States during the Civil War and provides a counter-argument to those who used the Bible to justify slavery. It is a significant historical document that sheds light on the debates surrounding slavery and religion in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
