What reading level is Letter to Ministers And Elders On the Sin of Holding Slaves And the Duty of Im book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is no proof that in the time of the apostle, during her declension, their condition was in any manner ameliorated. Among the Romans, it was per- mitted to men to divorce their wives at pleasure, with or without cause.
By the Roman laws, absolute power over the child was given to the parent, even to tlie selling of him into slavery, or to the taking away of his life. Power almost as unlimited was given to tlie creditor over his insolvent debtor. If any one v/as indebted to several persons,... and could not find a cau- tioner, (security, ) his body, according to some, might be cut to pieces and divided among his creditors.
Now, Christianity recognises these relations, also; and at the very time, too, when all the enormities perpetrated by the superiors in the relation were authorised by law. Yet, what Christian allowing even that there were no restraints of mu- nicipal laws— would, at this day, justify or palliale the unpro- voked dismission of a wife, or unfeeling and dishonorable treatment of her, on the part of a husband professing Chris- tianity, on the plea, that as Paul had recognised the relation as it then was, every thing that was then practised under SECOND LETTER.
