Nathaniel Sheldon Wheaton

""A Discourse On St. Paul???????s Epistle To Philemon"" is a book written by Nathaniel Sheldon Wheaton in 1851. The book is based on the Epistle of St. Paul to Philemon, which is a letter in the New Testament of the Bible. The author uses this letter to discuss the issue of slavery in the United States, particularly in the Northern states. The book argues that citizens of the Northern states have a duty to oppose the institution of slavery, as it goes against the principles of Christianity and human rights. The author uses biblical references and historical examples to support his argument. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the issue of slavery. The first chapter provides an overview of the Epistle of St. Paul to Philemon and its relevance to the issue of slavery. The second chapter discusses the history of slavery in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the Northern states. The third chapter discusses the moral and ethical implications of slavery, arguing that it is a violation of human rights and the teachings of Christianity. The fourth chapter provides practical advice for citizens of the Northern states on how to oppose slavery, such as through political activism and boycotts. Overall, ""A Discourse On St. Paul???????s Epistle To Philemon"" is a thought-provoking book that addresses a controversial issue in American history. It provides a unique perspective on the issue of slavery, using biblical references and historical examples to support its arguments.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
