What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you
know is wrong? Every major religion and philosophy once condoned or
approved of slavery, but in modern times nothing is seen as more
evil. Americans confront this crisis of authority when they erect
statues of Founding Fathers who slept with their slaves. And
Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with
verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad. Exploring the
moral and ultimately theological problem of slavery, Jonathan A.C.
Brown traces how the Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions have
tried to reconcile modern moral certainties with the infallibility
of God’s message. He lays out how Islam viewed slavery in theory,
and the reality of how it was practiced across Islamic
civilization. Finally, Brown carefully examines arguments put
forward by Muslims for the abolition of slavery.
