Weld, Theodore D.
Weld, Theodore D. The Bible Against Slavery. New York: American Anti-Slavery Society, 1837.
The Bible Against Slavery uses the differences between the context of ancient Israel and the context of then modern-day America to denounce the practice of slavery. Through passages from the Bible and much comparison to the Canaanites, Weld argues the politics of religion in the direction of Abolition.
