The Brotherhood Of Thieves Or A True Picture Of The American Church And Clergy: A Letter To Nathaniel Barney, Of Nantucket (1844)

""The Brotherhood of Thieves or A True Picture of the American Church and Clergy: A Letter to Nathaniel Barney, of Nantucket"" is a book written by Stephen Symonds Foster in 1844. The book is a scathing critique of the American Church and its clergy, accusing them of corruption, greed, and hypocrisy. Foster argues that the Church has become more concerned with material wealth and power than with spiritual guidance and morality. He also accuses the clergy of using their positions to exploit their congregations and enrich themselves. The title ""Brotherhood of Thieves"" refers to the Church and its leaders, who Foster sees as a group of conspirators working to maintain their own power and influence. The book is written as a letter to Nathaniel Barney, a fellow abolitionist and friend of Foster's from Nantucket. It is a passionate and fiery work that reflects Foster's deep commitment to social justice and his belief in the power of truth to bring about change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
