The religious instruction of the negroes in the United States

Jones's The Religious Instruction of the Negroes in the United States (1842) argues that it is morally essential for white ministers and slave owners to attend to the spiritual needs of slaves and free blacks. He traces the history of slavery and summarizes the missionary and religious efforts offered by each state and denomination from 1620. Jones attributes the slave's lack of virtue on his circumstances. He claims that it is necessary for his ills to be addressed by whites through spiritual means, and asserts the benefits of religious education. In the last part of the book Jones exhorts whites and the church at large to carry out programs of religious instruction and proposes recommendations for their practical implementation.
