"The Testimony And Practice Of The Presbyterian Church In Reference To American Slavery" by John Robinson offers a detailed examination of the Presbyterian Church's stance on the issue of slavery in the United States during the 19th century. This work provides invaluable insights into the complex moral and theological debates surrounding slavery within a major religious denomination. It includes an appendix that presents the positions of various Presbyterian factions, such as the General Assembly (New School), Free Presbyterian Church, Reformed Presbyterian, Associate, and Associate Reformed, offering a comprehensive view of the diverse opinions and actions taken by these groups.
Robinson's work serves as a crucial historical document, shedding light on the challenges and divisions faced by the Presbyterian Church as it grappled with the profound ethical implications of slavery. It remains a significant resource for understanding the intersection of religion, politics, and social justice in American history.
