Product Description
Bondage A Moral Institution, Sanctioned By The Scriptures Of The Old And New Testaments: And The Preaching And Practice Of The Savior And His Apostles (1837) is a book written by an author who identifies themselves as the Southern Farmer. The book argues that slavery, or bondage, is a moral institution that is supported by both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, as well as by the teachings and actions of Jesus Christ and his apostles.The Southern Farmer contends that slavery is not only morally justifiable, but also beneficial to both the slave and the master. The book argues that slavery provides a means of educating and civilizing the enslaved, and that it also allows the master to exercise benevolent control over their slaves.The author draws on numerous biblical passages to support their argument, including the story of Noah's curse on his son Ham, which is often interpreted as a justification for the enslavement of Africans. The book also cites passages from the New Testament that instruct slaves to obey their masters and argue that slavery is a part of God's plan.Overall, Bondage A Moral Institution, Sanctioned By The Scriptures Of The Old And New Testaments: And The Preaching And Practice Of The Savior And His Apostles (1837) is a controversial and deeply problematic book that seeks to defend the institution of slavery using religious arguments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
