All Oppression Shall Cease: A History of Slavery, Abolitionism and the Catholic Church

This thought-provoking work provides a rigorous examination of the Catholic Church's teachings and actions related to slavery, from era to era. By exploring stories of enslaved Catholics and Catholic slaveholders, as well as the arguments of theologians who defended or condemned slaveholding, Kellerman sheds light on the Church's complex role in the history of slavery.

The book offers a detailed account of the Church's slaveholding past, while also issuing a call for reconciliation with its history. A valuable resource for students, teachers and anyone interested in how religion can be used both to oppress and liberate, All Oppression Shall Cease is a thought-provoking exploration of a significant chapter in human history.
