Excerpt from Practical Considerations Founded on the Scriptures: Relative to the Slave Population of South-Carolina
In preparing these "Considerations" for the press, I am not unaware of the difficulty and delicacy of the subject, in which I have engaged. But as a religious man, I feel myself constrained by a sense of duty, to invite the attention of Slave-holders, to, what I conceive to be, an important and interesting subject. It is my design to show, from the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, that Slavery is not forbidden by the Divine Law, and, at the same time, to prove, the necessity of giving religious instruction to our Negroes.
I profess myself to be a decided advocate for the religious instruction of our slaves. Jesus Christ commanded his Apostles, to "preach the Gospel to every creature." - Mark, xvi, 15. And again, "That repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name, among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. - Luke xxiv, 47.

This book explores the history and theological implications of slavery through the perspectives of its time, drawing from Scripture and history to investigate whether slavery is biblically permissible and the religious obligations of slave owners to their slaves.

It further discusses the attitudes towards religious instruction for enslaved people and the potential consequences of withholding such instruction.
