Thome is a powerful religious tract written in the late 1850s, during a period of growing opposition to slavery in America. This publication serves as an impassioned call for Christians to engage in fervent prayer for the abolition of slavery, asserting that prayer is a potent weapon against the moral and social injustices of the time. It reflects the sentiments of the abolitionist movement, emphasizing the need to recognize the humanity of enslaved individuals and the Christian duty to stand against oppression. In this tract, Thome outlines the profound moral implications of slavery while urging the church to unite in prayer for the oppressed. He argues that slavery dehumanizes individuals and creates a culture of cruelty and injustice, and he emphasizes that prayer can invoke divine power to bring about change. The text challenges both individuals and the church to acknowledge their responsibility in fighting against this institution and encourages collective action through prayer, thereby fostering hope for liberation and justice. Thome's urgent appeal underscores the connection between prayer and social action, urging believers to see their supplications as vital for the deliverance of those in bondage.
