Description

"'Faith and Slavery in the Presbyterian Diaspora' considers how, in areas as diverse as the New Hebrides, Scotland, the United States, and East Central Africa, man and women's shared Presbyterian faith conditioned their interpretations of and interactions with the institution of chattel slavery. The chapters highlight how Presbyterians' reactions to slavery-- which ranged from abolitionism, to indifference, to support-- reflected their considered application of the principles of the Reformed Tradition to the institution." --Back cover.
