About this audiobook
SLAVERY IN THE BIBLE
The Bible says, “You were slaves in Egypt.”
But it also says that slaves could be bought, owned, inherited and, in some cases, kept permanently.
So what does the Bible actually say about slavery?
This book examines the difficult passages that are often avoided, from the laws of Exodus and Leviticus to Jesus, Paul and the early Christian Church. No excuses. No easy answers. Just the biblical texts, their historical context, and the uncomfortable questions they raise.
