The Apostles of Jesus were twelve men chosen to spread the Word of God to…

At first, the Methodist branch demoralized slavery, but Baptists were supportive of slavery. White Baptists held slaves at rates that were equal to or slightly above county average (Scully, 2001). These white Baptists were slave owners from five churches in Fauquier, Lunenburg, and Southampton counties in Virginia. There were slaves all…

I will elaborate on how the transitional nature of Malachi makes the book interesting to any individual concerned with the relationship between Judaism and Christianity as…
