Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Examination of the Mosaic Laws of Servitude It is obviously important that in all discussions involving emphatic words, having a direct bearing on the issue in question, the ideas intended to be represented by those words should be distinctly stated and clearly comprehended. In the following examination, the word slave will be frequently used, not incidentally nor figuratively, but as expressing a definite idea, and one necessarily connected with the very purpose of the investigation. Hence, unless the idea represented by a Save, and by Slaver, as his legal condition, be understood by the reader, the examination must prove to him vague, confused, and unsatisfactory. These words are often used in a figurative rhetorical sense, as a man is said to be the slave of sin, of passion, of his party, or of his business; and we often hear of political, military, and ecclesiastical Slavery. In such cases, a comparison more or less close is intended to be made with a species of servitude to which these words are legally and technically applied. As we shall use these words only in their strict legal sense, it is necessary that this sense should be unequivocally understood by the reader. For this purpose, it will be sufficient to cite two legal definitions of the word slave, taken from American statutes, viz.: "Slaves shall be deemed chattels personal in the hands of their owners and possessors, and their executors, administrators, and assigns, to all intents, constructions, and purposes, whatever." - 2 Brevard's Digest, 229, S. Carolina. "A slave is one who is in the power of a master to whom he belongs. The master may sell him, dispose of his person, his industry, and his labor. He can do nothing, possess nothing, nor acquire anything, but what must belong to his master." - Civil Code, art. 35, Louisiana.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bible and Slavery: A Brief Examination of the Old and New Testaments on Servitude The brief examination of the Bible on the subject of servitude, contained in the following pages, was first suggested to the writer by the perusal of a recent work on the Life and Epistles of the Apostle Paul, in which the word servant in the standard English version had been rejected, and that of slave substituted. Shocked and startled at the effect of this change on many passages, and more especially by the fact that Christ himself would be thereby presented to us as a slave-owner, and those for whom He died be supposed to render in return the involuntary service of slaves; the writer sought in vain from several Christian scholars for a satisfactory reason for refusing to accept it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery as Recognized in the Mosaic Civil Law The reason for the present publication may, perhaps, best be given in the following extracts from letters addressed to the author the day after the delivery of the discourse in the regular course of his pulpit ministrations, by a large number of intelligent Canadian gentlemen: Dear Sir: - The interests of religion and truth require that, in all matters affecting our faith in Divine Revelation, our opinions should be clear and definite. The subject of Human Slavery comes under this category. It is a subject which in former times very much agitated the public mind in Great Britain, and, since the commencement of the American war, has been revived with great vigor, both in England and Canada. On a subject of so much importance - a subject involving the interests of millions of our fellow-beings - it would seem necessary and right that we should have something more substantial than vague generalities, as an anchor to our faith. In common with the bulk of the English people, we hold, and hold thoroughly, as you are aware, anti-slavery opinions; but while so doing, we believe it to be in the interests of truth that the subject should be laid open to full, free, and fair discussion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mosaic Law in Modern Life And God spake all these words, saying, I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. - exodus 20 1, 2. That grounds the law of God on the right of God. By it you are rid of arbitrariness. Here is no lightning out of a clear sky. Here is no loud voiced Despot saying, Thou shalt and Thou shalt not, by sheer force of might. The law of God issues from the right of God. The duty of man and the will of God are one fact seen from below and above. Seen as sometimes cloud is seen, dark and forbidding below, but surely sun lit and beautiful above.

This book was released on 2017-11 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on the Law of Slavery The court observed that the term mulatto, as used in this state, was vague, and signified, in general, a person of mixed white and negro blood, in whatever proportions it might be mingled. The various distinctions which have obtained in the French and Spanish American colonies has not been adopted in this state. Harper J in delivering the opinion of the court, observed, that it seemed to be an error in the judge's charge to the jury, in stating, that a mulatto was the offspring of parents, one of whom was white, and the other black, and that he was disposed to think, that where the White blood predominated, the disqualifica tion ought not to attach. According to this instruction, we understand, that the child of a quadroon and a mulatto, according to the distinction in Louisiana, must be accounted white. Yet, I suppose, that even in Louisiana such a person would be called a mulatto It is certainly true, as laid down by the presiding judge, that every admixture of African blood with the European, or white, is not to be referred to the degraded class. It would be dan gerous and cruel to subject to this disqualification a person hearing all the features of a white, on account of some remote admixture of negro blood nor has the term mulatto, or person of color, I believe.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jews and the Mosaic Law, Vol. 5: Part the First; Containing a Defence of the Revelation of the Pentateuch, and of the Jews for Their Adherence to the Same The body of the arguments, as far as the plan of arranging them is concerned, is altogether mine, as are also many of the arguments themselves. I will not assert, that the same have not been used before; but I may say with truth, thati have not intentionally bor rowed from others. I consulted no books, besides those mentioned in the text, and even those I had not always before me; but quoted perhaps as often from memory, as from actual inspection. Be that as it may, I can assure the public that I have advanced neither argument nor assertion, which I did not subject to frequent examinations, and have asserted nothing which I in conscience did not believe founded in fact to the best of my knowledge. It would be the height of pre sumption in me to say, that I have made no mistake, for that only can be the case with inspired writers and if I err not altogether, I do not remember to have read any book from a profane writer, where some error or other had not been committed. Should I have the good for tune, however, to see a second edition of this work called for, I will make those corrections and alterations, which may have been dis covered to be necessary. In some places I have followed the English version of the Bible, in others again I have attempted to translate the original myself; either because I did not consult the English at all, or because the common translation seemed to me incorrect.

Book excerpt: Is the Mosaic covenant in some sense a republication of the covenant of works? What is the nature of its demand for obedience, since sinful man is unable to obey as God requires? How in turn was the law to drive Israel to Jesus? This book explores these issues pertaining to the doctrine of republication--once a staple in Reformed theology--a doctrine with far-reaching implications for Paul's theology, our relationship to Old Testament law, justification, and more.

Download or read book The Covenant of Works written by J. V. Fesko and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of "the covenant of works" arose to prominence in the late sixteenth century and quickly became a regular feature in Reformed thought. Theologians believed that when God first created man he made a covenant with him: all Adam had to do was obey God's command to not eat from the tree of knowledge and obey God's command to be fruitful, multiply, and subdue the earth. The reward for Adam's obedience was profound: eternal life for him and his offspring. The consequences of his disobedience were dire: God would visit death upon Adam and his descendants. In the covenant of works, Adam was not merely an individual but served as a public person, the federal head of the human race. The Covenant of Works explores the origins of the doctrine of God's covenant with Adam and traces it back to the inter-testamental period, through the patristic and middle ages, and to the Reformation. The doctrine has an ancient pedigree and was not solely advocated by Reformed theologians. The book traces the doctrine's development in the seventeenth century and its reception in the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. Fesko explores the reasons why the doctrine came to be rejected by some, even in the Reformed tradition, arguing that interpretive methods influenced by Enlightenment thought caused theologians to question the doctrine's scriptural legitimacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation for all study of biblical law is the assumption that the Covenant Code is the oldest legal code in the Hebrew Bible and that all other laws are revisions of that code. This book sets forth the radical hypothesis that those laws in the covenant code that are similar to Deuteronomy and the Holiness Code are in fact later than both of these, and therefore can't be taken as the foundation of Hebrew Law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To attempt to study Scripture without studying its law is to deny it. To attempt to understand Western civilization apart from the impact of Biblical law within it and upon it is to seek a fictitious history and to reject twenty centuries and their progress. The Institutes of Biblical Law has as its purpose a reversal of the present trend. it is called "Institutes" in the older meaning of the that word, i.e., fundamental principles, here of law, because it is intended as a beginning, as an instituting consideration of that law which must govern society, and which shall govern society under God. To understand Biblical law, it is necessary to understand also certain basic characteristics of that law. In it, certain broad premises or principles are declared. These are declarations of basic law. The Ten Commandments give us such declarations. A second characteristics of Biblical law, is that the major portion of the law is case law, i.e., the illustration of the basic principle in terms of specific cases. These specific cases are often illustrations of the extent of the application of the law; that is, by citing a minimal type of case, the necessary jurisdictions of the law are revealed. The law, then, asserts principles and cites cases to develop the implications of those principles, with is purpose and direction the restitution of God's order.

Download or read book Is God a Moral Monster written by Paul Copan and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recent string of popular-level books written by the New Atheists have leveled the accusation that the God of the Old Testament is nothing but a bully, a murderer, and a cosmic child abuser. This viewpoint is even making inroads into the church. How are Christians to respond to such accusations? And how are we to reconcile the seemingly disconnected natures of God portrayed in the two testaments? In this timely and readable book, apologist Paul Copan takes on some of the most vexing accusations of our time, including: God is arrogant and jealous God punishes people too harshly God is guilty of ethnic cleansing God oppresses women God endorses slavery Christianity causes violence and more Copan not only answers God's critics, he also shows how to read both the Old and New Testaments faithfully, seeing an unchanging, righteous, and loving God in both.
