The fact that some early Christians were slaves does not present a
moral problem for Christians today. The fact that some early
Christians were slaveholders does. Jennifer Glancy tackles
questions that continue to haunt contemporary men and women, inside
and outside of the churches: Why didnt Jesus speak out forcefully
against slavery? Why didnt the early church see slavery as
fundamentally incompatible with the gospel? Were there any bright
moments when some Christians in fact drew that conclusion, and why
dont we know more about them? Why didnt Christianity have more of
an impact on slaveholding in the Roman Empire? And what lessons can
we learn as we face moral catastrophes in our own day?
