Bible View of Slavery

In "Bible View of Slavery," John Henry Hopkins presents a controversial perspective on the institution of slavery through the lens of biblical interpretation. Drawing from both the Old and New Testaments, Hopkins argues for the compatibility of slavery with Christian principles. This work offers a detailed examination of scriptural passages that were used to justify slavery, providing insights into the religious and social debates surrounding this contentious issue in the 19th century.

Hopkins's analysis delves into the historical context of biblical texts, exploring how they were understood and applied in discussions about slavery. Whether viewed as a defense of a morally reprehensible practice or as a reflection of the complex relationship between religion and social norms, "Bible View of Slavery" remains a significant document for understanding the historical discourse on slavery and its impact on religious thought.
