Slave-Bible Selection Audit Record

PROBLEM: The 1807 Slave Bible (Parts of the Holy Bible, Selected for the Use of the Negro Slaves, in the British West-India Islands) kept roughly 232 of 1,189 chapters — about 90% of the Old Testament and half of the New Testament removed. What remained delivered one message: masters were to be obeyed and reward waited after death. Eph 6:5 and Col 3:22 were retained; Gal 3:28 ("There is neither bond nor free") was not. A sacred text was edited into an obedience manual and handed to the enslaved as if it were the whole Bible.

SOLUTION: A selection audit record: the 1807 edition's chapter list, the retained-versus-removed accounting, and the stated purpose of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves — so the edit is visible and cannot be presented as the complete text.

EVIDENCE BASIS: DOCUMENTED — the 1807 Slave Bible edition (London, 1807); published scholarship on its chapter counts (hebroni.com, ourhistorynow.com, Time, Civil War Virginia Tech).
