Fergus is a meticulously researched historical analysis of the persecution of the Spiritual Baptists in the Caribbean by British colonial authorities. The book explores the enactment of laws prohibiting Spiritual Baptist worship in Trinidad, St. Vincent, and Grenada between 1912 and 1927, highlighting Britain's failure to uphold its principles of religious toleration. Fergus connects this persecution to broader colonial strategies and cultural biases against African Caribbean religions. By examining archival records, the book reveals political intrigues and racial prejudices that contributed to these prohibitions. Fergus argues for reparatory justice for the victims of this colonial oppression, emphasizing the church's complicity in these injustices. The book is aimed at scholars of Caribbean history, religious studies, and colonialism.Generated by AI.Spiritual BaptistsGenerated by AIColonial influenceGenerated by AISpiritual BaptistsColonial influenceFergus Claudius1848227MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911026137903321Against Toleration4434549UNINA
