In this video I have a go at answering the question: “Does the Bible condone slavery”? I begin by outlining the nature of the problem and then offer three different ways we can approach the Bible to make sense of the problem:
- Grammatical Considerations
- Historical Considerations
- Canonical Considerations
- Isaac Allen, Is Slavery Sanctioned by the Bible?
- Paul Copan, Is God a Moral Monster?
- John Goldingay, Old Testament Theology (3 vols.)
- Thomas Schirrmacher (ed.), The Humanisation of Slavery in the Old Testament
