Slavery in the Bible is very different from modern slavery, so should we use a different word?
"Moral Questions of the Bible"
Ch.26: Ending Slavery
Old Testament laws allowed slavery (within limits) and the New Testament allowed slave ownership (but not slave trading). However, the context shows God pushing society at each stage in one direction – towards abolition. Read the full chapter at http://www.biblecontexts.com/2019/10/morality-ch-26-ending-slavery.html
This chapter will be available for about a month, when it will be replaced by others.
I'd be interested to hear comments and discuss different viewpoints.
