There was no household slavery in the ancient churches’ regions, and an abolitionist plan can work in our time. This concise argument surveys ancient and scriptural evidence to distinguish slavery as a legal, economic system from the personal, familial servitude described in early contexts. It builds a case for emancipation as a practical and moral remedy for American slavery without misrepresenting history.
Drawing on historical sources and careful interpretation, the work argues that slavery in ancient Asia Minor did not resemble the later enslaving systems, and it outlines why this matters for modern debates. It makes a focused, urgent case for abolition as both a national and moral project, while addressing common objections and questions with clear reasoning.
Ideal for readers interested in historical theology, abolitionist thought, and debates about freedom and society.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ethical treatment of human beings from a religious perspective, taking the teachings of the Bible as its guiding principle. It argues that slavery is incompatible with the core message of Christianity, by examining the relevant passages of the Holy Scriptures, thoroughly dissecting the arguments of scholars who defend slavery. By engaging with the Old Testament, the New Testament, and biblical history, the author presents evidence that enslavement not only failed to find support in the teachings of Jesus Christ but was explicitly condemned by them. The insights provided in this text challenge commonly held assumptions about the morality of slavery and offer a thought-provoking examination of the fundamental teachings of Christianity on the topic of human equality.
