Catholics and Slavery, A Compromising History, 2008, softcover, published by Novalis, 204 pages.

From the back cover -----

In this provocative and challenging book, John Perry examines Catholic responses to slavery. He leads us through the difficult story of slavery in the Christian experience from its biblical treatment, to  colonial history in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, to the insidious practices of forced labor and human trafficking today.

Catholics and Slavery is filled with  theological interpretation and exam­ples of accommodation of a practice that has never fully disappeared, even though international laws and ethical certitudes prevail.
