But today human rights and religion are sometimes in conflict. The universal claims made for rights can put them at odds with the revealed truths from which religions derive their authority. Many people's sense of human worth and dignity nevertheless depends on recognising the divine in each of us. Where rights and revelation diverge, how can the differences be negotiated? How should we measure individual claims to freedom against the demands of religious traditions? In this volume, eminent theologians and anthropologists set out the terms of religion's holds on its own truths, while historians, philosophers, and activists set out their vision for a society in which the competing truths must be accommodated not peacefully but without violence. Their respondents join the debate with fierce conviction, indicating their doubts and concerns in relation to the often compatible but sometimes competing claims of religion and rights. 606 $aHuman rights$xReligious aspects 606 $aReligious tolerance 610 $aAmerican slave communities. 610 $aChristian experience. 610 $aIslam. 610 $aOxford Amnesty Lectures. 610 $aPentecost. 610 $aRoman Catholic tradition. 610 $aSimon Schama. 610 $aUnited States. 610 $aWestern liberal democracy. 610 $abiblical inspiration. 610 $acivil rights movement. 610 $ahuman religion. 610 $ahuman rights. 610 $amoral progress. 610 $apluralism. 610 $auniversalisation. 615 0$aHuman rights$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aReligious tolerance. 676 $a201.723 702 $aWilliams$b Wes 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798743803321 996 $aReligion and rights$93751688 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06262nam 2200697 450 001 9910819044803321 005 20221206215943.0 010 $a0-252-09612-6 035 $a(CKB)3710000000202198 035 $a(EBL)3414363 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001266317 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11671956 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001266317 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11248828 035 $a(PQKB)11681222 035 $a(StDuBDS)EDZ0001642933 035 $a(OCoLC)884725833 035 $a(MdBmJHUP)muse32452 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3414363 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10901911 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL629344 035 $a(OCoLC)923498706 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3414363 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000202198 100 $a20140816h20142014 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aQuakers and abolition$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Brycchan Carey and Geoffrey Plank 210 1$aUrbana, [Illinois] :$cUniversity of Illinois Press,$d2014. 210 4$dİ2014 215 $a1 online resource (281 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a0-252-03826-6 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aIntroduction / Brycchan Carey and Geoffrey Plank -- Part I.

Contributors from a range of disciplines, nations, and faith backgrounds show how Quakers often disagreed with one another and the larger antislavery movement about slavery itself and the best path to emancipation. Far from having monolithic beliefs, Quakers embraced such diverse approaches as benevolent slaveholding, both gradual and comprehensive abolition, and consumer boycotts of slave-produced products. These evolving and uneven conceptions of slavery and emancipation were similar to the varied views Quakers had on racial integration. Offering a nuanced interpretation of these controversial topics--one that often diverges from existing scholarship--contributors discuss how Quakers attempted to live out their faith's antislavery imperative. Essays address Quaker missions in Barbados; the interplay between African-American and Quaker communities in Pennsylvania and New Jersey; transatlantic correspondence between a colonialist Quaker and a freed slave who "returned-to-Africa" as a Liberian colonist; and the impact of Quaker-authored frontier literature. Not surprisingly, this complicated and evolving antislavery sensibility left behind an equally complicated legacy. Focusing on Great Britain, France, and the United States, contributors show how Quaker antislavery actions and writings influenced revolutions and antislavery in those countries. Yet the Quaker contribution is also a hidden one because it so rarely receives substantive attention in modern classrooms and scholarship. This volume faithfully seeks to correct that oversight, offering accessible and provocative new insights on this key chapter of religious, political, and cultural history. Contributors include Dee E. Andrews, Kristen Block, Brycchan Carey, Christopher Densmore, Andrew Diemer, J. William Frost, Thomas D. Hamm, Nancy A. Hewitt, Maurice Jackson, Anna Vaughan Kett, Emma Jones Lapsansky-Werner, Gary B. Nash, Geoffrey Plank, Ellen M.
