Book Description
Excerpt from The Gospel Applied to the Fugitive Slave Law: A Sermon Preached to the Third Congregational Society of Hingham, on Sunday, March 2, 1851 WE are to do all things in the name of the Lord Jesus. We are to do nothing in which, with the thought of Jesus in our minds, we cannot invoke God's aid. We are to acknowledge ever the divine Mastership of Jesus, appealing to his authority as paramount to all other in questions of duty. We are to ask, What is the mind, the intention, of Christ? How do his precepts and life apply to this or that case in which we are to act? And, when the world inquire why we maintain a particular principle or pursue a particular course as Christians, we ought to be able to answer, that we act in obedience to the truth as it is in Jesus.

Human Rights in Deuteronomy
Author: Daisy Yulin TsaiPublisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110364425
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
The humanitarian concerns of the biblical slave laws and their rhetorical techniques rarely receive scholarly attention, especially the two slave laws in Deuteronomy. Previous studies that compared the biblical and the ANE laws focused primarily on their similarities and developed theories of direct borrowing. This ignored the fact that legal transplants were common in ancient societies. This study, in contrast, aims to identify similarities and dissimilarities in order to pursue an understanding of the underlying values promoted within these slave laws and the interests they protected. To do so, certain innovative methodologies were applied. The biblical laws examined present two diverse legal concepts that contrast to the ANE concepts: (1) all agents are regarded as persons and should be treated accordingly, and (2) all legal subjects are seen as free, dignified, and self-determining human beings. In addition, the biblical laws often distinguish an offender’s “criminal intent,” by which a criminal’s rights are also considered. Based on these features, the biblical laws are able to articulate YHWH’s humanitarian concerns and the basic concepts of human rights presented in Deuteronomy.
Slavery and Sacred Texts
Author: Jordan T. WatkinsPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108806104
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 399
Book Description
In the decades before the Civil War, Americans appealed to the nation's sacred religious and legal texts - the Bible and the Constitution - to address the slavery crisis. The ensuing political debates over slavery deepened interpreters' emphasis on historical readings of the sacred texts, and in turn, these readings began to highlight the unbridgeable historical distances that separated nineteenth-century Americans from biblical and founding pasts. While many Americans continued to adhere to a belief in the Bible's timeless teachings and the Constitution's enduring principles, some antislavery readers, including Theodore Parker, Frederick Douglass, and Abraham Lincoln, used historical distance to reinterpret and use the sacred texts as antislavery documents. By using the debate over American slavery as a case study, Jordan T. Watkins traces the development of American historical consciousness in antebellum America, showing how a growing emphasis on historical readings of the Bible and the Constitution gave rise to a sense of historical distance.
