Onesimus: Or The Apostolic Directions To Christian Masters, In Reference To Their Slaves, Considered is a book written by Evangelicus in 1842. The book focuses on the relationship between Christian slave owners and their slaves, and how they should behave towards them based on the teachings of the apostles. The author argues that Christian masters have a responsibility to treat their slaves with kindness, respect, and fairness. He cites various passages from the Bible, including the letters of Paul, to support his arguments. The book also discusses the issue of slavery itself, and whether it is compatible with Christian values. Evangelicus argues that while slavery is not ideal, it is not explicitly condemned in the Bible and therefore should be accepted as a fact of life. However, he also emphasizes the importance of treating slaves as fellow human beings and not as mere property. Overall, Onesimus: Or The Apostolic Directions To Christian Masters, In Reference To Their Slaves, Considered is a thoughtful and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between Christianity and slavery. It offers valuable insights into how Christians should approach this difficult issue with compassion and humility.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
