What reading level is The Church And the Slave Power book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Thus this horrible system goes on violating every precept of the Decalogue, either directly or indirectly, — trampling under foot the Divine word as an unclean thing.
But says one, " Did not Abraham hold slaves ?" I answer, No. Abraham had servants, but so far as I have been able to acertain he had no slaves. I know of no proof of the assertion that Abra- ham was a slaveholder. I know there was a class of persons in his house bought with money (literally the purchase of silver. ) They might h...ave been hired servants, or they might have been persons purchased from captivity, and retained as members of his household. But this phrase is no certain evidence that he held them as slaves. They may have been purchased out of bond- age, for merciful purposes ; no man can deny it, and purchases of this kind are right. But we have no right to sell a fellow being into bondage. Abraham bought indeed. But Abraham did not sell. But slaveholders do not limit themselves to buying ; they also sell, and justify themselves in so doing.
