Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book challenges common perceptions of slavery by presenting evidence that the Bible endorses the practice. Through analysis of the Old and New Testaments, the author argues that the moral codes of both acknowledge property in slaves. In the Old Testament, passages from the Book of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, and Deuteronomy establish slavery as a legal and accepted institution within the Jewish commonwealth. The New Testament, while lacking explicit condemnation, is shown to contain no prohibition against the practice. Furthermore, the author contends that the "spirit and principle" of the Gospel of Christ, as exemplified in the Sermon on the Mount, is not incompatible with slavery. By examining the historical context and moral framework of the Bible, this book offers a revisionist perspective on a contentious topic, providing a fresh understanding of the relationship between faith and societal norms.
