Christianity and Emancipation: Or, the Teachings and the Influence of the Bible Against Slavery (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Christianity and Emancipation: Or, the Teachings and the Influence of the Bible Against Slavery Keeping this in mind, I ask again, does christianity sanction slavery? But we must also define Christian ity. The Ghent professor, with the very art of Vola taire, confounds Christianity with the Roman Catholic Church, and thus charges Upon the gospel the hostility to liberty. Which he alleges against that church. But Christianity. Is not to be identified with any ecclesiasti cal system, nor with the opinions and practices of any of its ministers or professors.
