Slavery Sanctioned by the Bible

This book is a critical examination of the use of biblical texts to support the institution of slavery in America. Jones argues that these interpretations ignore the broader message of the Bible and distort its teachings to justify a morally indefensible practice. The book also explores the religious debates surrounding slavery during the antebellum period.
