St. Peter Claver, Apostle Of The Negro Slaves is a biography written by Anthony Astrain. The book tells the story of St. Peter Claver, a Jesuit missionary who dedicated his life to serving enslaved Africans in the Spanish colonies of South America. Claver arrived in Cartagena, Colombia in 1610 and spent the next forty years ministering to the needs of the slaves who were brought to the city from all over Africa. The book describes Claver's tireless efforts to provide physical and spiritual aid to the slaves, including administering the sacraments, teaching them about Christianity, and caring for their basic needs. Despite facing opposition from slave owners and others who opposed his work, Claver persisted in his mission, baptizing over 300,000 enslaved Africans during his lifetime. The biography also explores Claver's personal life and spiritual journey, including his devotion to the Virgin Mary and his deep commitment to the Jesuit order. It also provides historical context for the slave trade in South America and the broader social and political issues of the time. Overall, St. Peter Claver, Apostle Of The Negro Slaves is a compelling and inspiring story of one man's dedication to serving others and fighting for justice in the face of great adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
