Publisher's Synopsis
""Slave Holding Not Sinful: Slavery, The Punishment Of Man�������s Sin, Its Remedy, The Gospel Of Christ"" is a book written by Samuel B. How and originally published in 1855. The book argues that slavery is not a sin, but rather a punishment for man's sins. How asserts that the practice of slavery is a necessary part of God's plan for humanity, and that it is not incompatible with the teachings of the Bible. He argues that slavery is a just and humane institution, and that it provides a means of civilization and Christianization for Africans. How also discusses the role of the Gospel of Christ in remedying the effects of slavery, and how it can be used to promote the spiritual and moral upliftment of slaves. The book is a controversial and highly debated work, reflecting the attitudes and beliefs of its time regarding race and slavery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
