This book is a critical examination of the biblical concept of servitude, and a powerful argument against the use of the Bible to justify slavery. It analyzes the biblical passages related to slavery, and shows how they have been distorted and misinterpreted by pro-slavery apologists and infidels alike. Written in a clear and persuasive style, it makes a compelling case for the abolition of slavery on both moral and religious grounds, and has been an inspiration to generations of anti-slavery activists.

Excerpt from Bible Servitude Re-Examined: With Special Reference to Pro-Slavery Interpretations and Infidel Objections As the battle of the Lord Almighty in the contest between truth and error, right and wrong, goes on in the world, different ages and nations will occupy different portions of the field. Some of the ages, and some of the nations, will be thrown upon a mission of experiment and adventure: others will be convulsed with revolutions, bringing destruction to old systems of belief and practice: others, still, will be inspired to the work of repairing the old wastes, organizing, reconstructing, building up. It belongs especially to some of the ages to break up, and put to decay, that which has grown old, done its work, ripened off, and, in its own nature, is ready to vanish away. It is the special mission of some of the ages to discover, to shape, to lay foundations, and to build thereon that which can never be moved.
