Mr. Harris's scriptural researches on the licitness of the Slave-Trade" by the Rev. James Ramsay is a critical examination of the arguments presented by Rev. Mr. Harris regarding the moral and scriptural justification of the slave trade. Written during the late 18th century, the book serves as a theological and ethical critique of Harris's assertions, aiming to counter the claims that slavery and the slave trade are condoned by scripture. It delves into religious, philosophical, and historical discourse, reflecting the growing abolitionist sentiments of the era. In this thorough examination, Ramsay dissects various 'data' posited by Harris, arguing that his interpretations of scripture are flawed and often contradict the principles of compassion and justice espoused in the Christian faith. He challenges Harris's notion that the slave trade can be morally justified, highlighting the inherent abuses and violences associated with the practice. Through scriptural references and logical reasoning, Ramsay contends that true Christian doctrine promotes freedom and equality, ultimately calling for the abolition of the slave trade as an act of moral imperative. The book is a passionate appeal to reason and humanity in the face of a widespread and accepted inhumanity.
