Caste, In Its Religious And Civil Character, Opposed To Christianity is a book written by Joseph Roberts and published in 1847. The book discusses the concept of caste and its relationship with religion and civil society. Roberts argues that caste is a system of social hierarchy based on birth and is therefore opposed to the principles of Christianity.The book begins by providing a historical overview of the caste system in India, including its religious roots in Hinduism and its connection to the British colonial administration. Roberts then explores the ways in which caste manifests itself in Indian society, including in the areas of marriage, education, and employment.Roberts goes on to argue that the caste system is not only a religious institution, but also a civil one, with laws and customs that govern the behavior of individuals within the caste system. He contends that this system is fundamentally incompatible with the principles of Christianity, which emphasizes the equality of all people before God.Throughout the book, Roberts draws on biblical teachings and Christian theology to support his argument that caste is an un-Christian practice. He also provides examples of individuals who have challenged the caste system and worked towards its abolition.Overall, Caste, In Its Religious And Civil Character, Opposed To Christianity is a critical analysis of the caste system in India and its relationship with religion and civil society. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the ways in which religion and social hierarchy intersect in Indian society.Being A Series Of Documents By Bishops Heber, Wilson, Corrie, And Spencer, And By Eminent Ministers Of Other Denominations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
