博客來In ＂The Lord Bishop Of Bangor’s Defence Of His Assertion, Viz. That The Example Of Our Lord Is Much More Peculiarly Fit To Be Urged To Slaves Than To Subjects, Consider’d,＂ Thomas Sherlock, the Bishop of Bangor, defends his controversial assertion regarding the applicability of Jesus’s example to slaves versus subjects. This work delves into the theological and political arguments surrounding obedience, authority, and the interpretation of Christian teachings in the context of 18th-century social hierarchies.
Sherlock’s defense provides insights into the prevailing attitudes toward slavery and the divine right of kings, offering a window into the complex relationship between religious doctrine and social order during this period. Scholars interested in the history of Christian ethics, political theory, and the debates surrounding slavery will find this a valuable primary source.
