This collection, 'Letters Addressed to Caleb Strong, Esq., Late Governor of Massachusetts,' presents a compelling argument against retaliation, capital punishment, and war. Authored by Samuel Whelpley, the letters assert that these practices are prohibited by the Gospel, unjustified by sound principles, and unnecessary for the safety of individuals or nations.Written in 1818, the book offers a glimpse into early 19th-century political and religious thought, challenging the prevailing views on justice and governance. Whelpley’s detailed reasoning and theological insights provide a historical perspective on the debates surrounding ethics and the role of government. This work is essential for those studying the history of pacifism, Christian ethics, and the evolution of legal and moral philosophy in the United States. The author’s discourse promotes peace and questions the status quo.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
