Abstract

This chapter looks at Frederick Douglass through his connection with God’s law, showing how this law created a complicated relationship between Douglass and the US Constitution. It shows how Douglass used God’s work to fight against slavery and looks at passages from the Declaration of Independence to show the connection between freedom as a right and God’s law. It examines Douglass’s views on natural law in conjunction with his views and use of God’s law to create a complex portrait of both. Concluding with Douglass’s fight with Edward Covey, this chapter shows how Douglass grappled with the fear of death before he managed to cease alienating his “soul” from himself. From this moment, Douglass began to imagine God and how God’s law names the possibility for the world to be more just.
上帝律法的影响
本章通过弗雷德里克·道格拉斯与上帝律法的联系来考察他,展示上帝律法如何在道格拉斯和美国宪法之间建立起复杂的关系。它展示了道格拉斯如何利用上帝的工作来反对奴隶制,并通过《独立宣言》中的段落来展示自由作为一种权利和上帝的法律之间的联系。它考察了道格拉斯对自然法的看法,结合他对上帝律法的看法和使用,创造了一个复杂的肖像。本章以道格拉斯与爱德华·柯维(Edward Covey)的斗争作为结束语,展示了道格拉斯如何克服对死亡的恐惧,直到他成功地停止将自己的“灵魂”与自己疏远。从这一刻起,道格拉斯开始想象上帝,以及上帝的律法是如何让世界变得更加公正的。
