Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""The Guilt of Slavery and the Crime of Slave Holding, Demonstrated from the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures"" was written by George B. Cheever in 1860. The book is a comprehensive examination of the sin of slavery and the moral responsibility of slaveholders. Cheever argues that slavery is not only a violation of human rights, but also a sin against God. He uses evidence from the Hebrew and Greek scriptures to support his argument, demonstrating that the Bible condemns slavery and the holding of slaves. Cheever also addresses the common arguments used by slaveholders to justify their actions, and refutes them with biblical evidence. The book is a powerful condemnation of slavery and a call to action for those who seek to end this evil practice. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the moral and religious debates surrounding slavery in the United States during the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
