Through author Robinson A. Milwood's research in writing his previous book on African Humanity, he became deeply moved by the oppressions, exploitations and sufferings of the slaves. He was particularly disturbed by the fact that the punishments and crimes were committed by the churches, Quakers, society for the Propagation of the Gospels in Foreign Parts, the Royals and Intellectuals. Thus, in Western European and British Barbarity, Savagery, and Brutality in the Transatlantic Chattel Slave Trade: Homologated by the Churches and Intellectuals in the Seventeenth -Nineteenth Century - A Critical Study, Milwood outlined the gruesome and brutal punishments of the slaves. It is his firm postulation that Christianity is fraudulent in that British Christianity was nothing more than melliferous chimerical spiritual and psychological opium for the slaves as their pre-libation and nemesis for heaven. Readers will become aware that the transatlantic slave trade is one of the most relevant and hottest subjects being studied today because of its economic and technological relevance to the developed world and the pandemic inverse of development in Africa.

There is a major imbalance in the world in terms of development, under-development, poverty, diseases and unemployment in Africa, The fact that Europe and Britain has not made any Reparation to Africa and the West Indies for the massive exploitation of Africans avariciously for the economies of Europe and Britain. This book raises relevant questions concerning the significance of Caucasian semantic cultural Christianity in the midst of tremendous apocalyptic sufferings in the continent of Africa washed and bless with natural fecundity. This volume is a moral and theological challenge to Caucasian Christianity.

Milwood based this narrative on a critical study of the measure of barbarity, savagery and brutality carried out by the Churches in the name of a Caucasian Jesus Christ as Redeemer of the World with a lamb on his shoulder during the heinous transatlantic slave trade period. It raised serious questions relating to Christianity, the existence of God and Theology in the context of the horrendous transatlantic slave trade period.

It revolves around the theme that British Christianity is a semantic cultural Caucasian Christianity without morality, justice and equality. This book further challenges philosophers of religion, biblical theologians and systematic theologians that de-contextualization of the transatlantic slave trade is a mendacity. There can be no theology or philosophy of religion without the contextualization of the transatlantic slave trade. Furthermore, it is claimed by the author, that there is no historical evidence of a Caucasian Jesus Christ.

Through Western European and British Barbarity, Savagery, and Brutality in the Transatlantic Chattel Slave Trade: Homologated by the Churches and Intellectuals in the Seventeenth -Nineteenth Century - A Critical Study, readers will be able to critique the people who enslaved Africans. To see that uncritical religious faith with sincere ignorance is irrelevant to human social and economic conditions today and to see that justice and equality does not come without sacrifice and struggle.
