Slave bible

Synopsis

The Select Parts of the Holy Bible for the use of the Negro Slaves in the British West-India Islands, known in short as the Slave Bible, is a much-reduced version of the Bible with references to freedom removed and references to obedience to a master retained, made for teaching a pro-slavery version of Christianity to enslaved people in the British West Indies. Most of the Old Testament and half of the New Testament were removed.
