Church As It Is: Or The Forlorn Hope Of Slavery (1885)

""The Church As It Is: Or The Forlorn Hope Of Slavery"" is a book written by Parker Pillsbury in 1885. The book is a scathing critique of the role of the Christian church in supporting and perpetuating the institution of slavery in America. Pillsbury, a prominent abolitionist and minister, argues that the church's complicity in slavery is a betrayal of its fundamental principles of justice and compassion. He also examines the theological justifications used by pro-slavery Christians, and exposes their hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy. The book is a powerful indictment of the church's failure to live up to its moral and ethical responsibilities, and a call to action for all those who seek to create a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
