Letters Addressed To Caleb Strong, Late Governor Of Massachusetts: Showing That Retaliation, Capital Punishments, And War, Are Prohibited By The Gospel is a book written by Samuel Whelpley in 1818. The book is a collection of letters written to Caleb Strong, the former governor of Massachusetts, arguing that the principles of the Gospel prohibit the use of retaliation, capital punishment, and war. Whelpley uses biblical references and historical examples to support his arguments, and he emphasizes the importance of forgiveness, mercy, and non-violence. The book is a reflection of the growing anti-war and anti-violence sentiment in the early 19th century, and it provides a unique perspective on the role of religion in promoting peace and justice. Overall, Letters Addressed To Caleb Strong is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to reconsider their views on violence and its place in society.Showing That Retaliation, Capital Punishments, And War, Are Prohibited By The Gospel, Justified By No Good Principle, Not Necessary To The Safety Of Individuals Or Nations.
