| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2591 In the 1640s and 50s, many Quakers believed that Christians should fight in wars; none of them (as far as we know) believed that Christians ought not own slaves. By 1723, most Quakers had renounced war; a good many of them had begun to assert that owning slaves was contrary to the will of God. Students in this course will try to determine howand also whyQuakers changed their minds about war and slavery. ; Crosslisted: Independent College Programs; Peace, Justice and Human Rights; Religion; Prerequisite(s): First Year Writing; Enrollment Limit: 15; Lottery Preference(s): Religion majors and PJHR concentrators Humanities, B: Analysis of the Social World, A: Meaning, Interpretation (Texts) (; Hav: HU, B, A) |
