The Bible Against Slavery

Published in 1864, The Bible Against Slavery is a powerful critique of pro-slavery arguments that were commonly made using religious texts.

The book includes responses to pro-slavery arguments made by prominent religious figures of the time, making it a valuable resource for scholars and activists working on issues related to religion, race, and social justice.
