By: Joseph Roberts

Book Overview

""Caste, In Its Religious And Civil Character, Opposed To Christianity"" is a book written by Joseph Roberts in 1847. The book discusses the concept of caste and how it is opposed to the principles of Christianity. Roberts argues that caste is a social hierarchy that is based on birth and has been used to oppress people for centuries. He also argues that caste is not only a religious concept but also a civil one, as it has been enshrined in law and used to justify discrimination and inequality. Roberts uses examples from Hinduism and other religions to illustrate his arguments and presents a case for why Christianity is a more egalitarian and just system. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the social and religious issues of the time and provides insight into the debates around caste and inequality that continue to this day.Being A Series Of Documents By Bishops Heber, Wilson, Corrie, And Spencer, And By Eminent Ministers Of Other Denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
