This book examines two important American Protestant theologians: the archconservative Charles Hodge (1797?1878), and the archliberal Horace Bushnell (1802?1876), and their stances on racial slavery. Hodge, with his rigid doctrine of biblical inerrancy, and Bushnell, with his open-ended experiential theology, represent two poles of thought that continually assert themselves when American Protestants speak out on social issues. This book provides a case study in the moral implications of each of these enduring polarities and upsets conventional understandings of the relationship of conservative and liberal Protestantism to slavery and race. The ambivalent attitudes of both men toward slavery and race are significant aspects of both of their enduring intellectual legacies. This is the first book-length comparison of these two theologians on this subject.

reviewed Theology and Slavery: Charles Hodge and Horace Bushnell on June 08, 2013 Theology and Slavery: Charles Hodge and Horace Bushnell
Ok, I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual. I completed BA's in History and Religion. I have an MBA and completed the course for a graduate level degree in history. I'm a voracious reader. Two of my areas of interest are slavery and the law, so eagerly snatched up this book when I saw it.
I say that as a preamble for what I'm about to say, this book is not written for the lay person.
The book is a collection of essays presented by various legal scholars on the subject of slavery and the law. Some of the essays are easier to read than others, but on a whole the book is targetting somebody with more of a lawyerly bent than a historical bent. Many of the sections referenced legal cases and statues assuming that you understand the concepts. Most the writing is dry and legalistic.
This book turned out to be one that I had to force myself to read because I was interested in the content. I can't say that I recommend it.
