This volume examines the prevalence, function, and socio-political
effects of slavery discourse in the major theological formulations
of the late third to early fifth centuries AD, arguably the most
formative period of early Christian doctrine. The question the book
poses is this: in what way did the Christian theologians of the
third, fourth, and early fifth centuries appropriate the discourse
of slavery in their theological formulations, and what could the
effect of this appropriation have been for actual physical slaves?
This fascinating study is crucial reading for anyone with an
interest in early Christianity or Late Antiquity, and slavery more
generally.
