The Bible Against Slavery
An inquiry into the Patriarchal and Mosaic systems on the subject of Human RightsBy Theodore Dwight WeldLength3h 23m
About this audiobook
The Bible Against Slavery is a study on the subject of human rights written by American abolitionist Theodore Dwight Weld with the goal to refute the argument that Bible supports slavery. The Bible contains many references to slavery, which was a common practice in antiquity. However, the slavery mentioned in the Bible is quite different from chattel slavery practiced in the American South, and in some cases the word "slave" is a mistranslation. The author claims that the spirit of slavery never seeks shelter in the Bible.
