Course Description

We will study the ministers, theologians and Christians living in Ohio during the 19th century who played an active role in the Underground Railroad movement. Without biblical values, the Underground Railroad stations would not have existed. Since biblical principles gave birth to this movement, this topic will be this course’s main theme. You will be supplied with copies of rare historical manuscripts, letters and diaries, which give a firsthand account of these Underground Railroad operatives and their experiences. The material will be presented in a colorful PowerPoint-style presentation with ample time for discussion. Past experience has proven that the nature of this topic has been well received. Historical accounts of fugitive slaves will also be included, representing a symbol of freedom and righteousness.
