    'It's often said that books are compulsory reading, but this book really is compulsory. You cannot understand slavery, or British Empire, without it' Sathnam Sanghera Arguing that the slave trade was at the heart of Britain's economic progress, Eric Williams's landmark 1944 study revealed the connections between capitalism and racism, and has influenced generations of historians ever since.Williams traces the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to show how it laid the foundations of the Industrial Revolution, and how racism arose as a means of rationalising an economic decision. Most significantly, he showed how slavery was only abolished when it ceased to become financially viable, exploding the myth of emancipation as a mark of Britain's moral progress.'Its thesis is a starting point for a new generation of scholarship' New Yorker

  • - Studies In The Epistle Of James
    av Eric Williams

    The Epistle of James is all about Faith - real faith, living faith, active faith. Like the apostle Paul, James would have us work out our salvation with fear and trembling. This book endeavors to show just how that is done. According to James' epistle, real faith is based upon certain presuppositions. True faith finds joy in hardship. Faith brings unity in the body; it engenders self control; it benefits the individual and the world at large. Real Faith, Studies In The Epistle Of James will enable you to read the letter of James with fresh eyes and allow you to apply this misunderstood book to your walk of faith. "I am happy to commend D. Eric Williams' studies in the epistle of James. 'Real Faith' is down-to-earth, just like the epistle, and is well-suited to help the reader unpack the kind of practical help that James is known for." Douglas Wilson, Christ Church, Moscow Idaho
