The Slave Metaphor and Gendered Enslavement in Early Christian
Discourse adds new knowledge to the ongoing discussion of slavery
in early Christian discourse. Kartzow argues that the complex
tension between metaphor and social reality in early Christian
discourse is undertheorized. A metaphor can be so much more than an
innocent thought figure; it involves bodies, relationships, life
stories, and memory in complex ways. The slavery metaphor is
troubling since it makes theology of a social institution that is
profoundly troubling. This study rethinks the potential meaning of
the slavery metaphor in early Christian discourse by use of a
variety of texts, read with a whole set of theoretical tools taken
from metaphor theory and intersectional gender studies, in
particular. It also takes seriously the contemporary context of
modern slavery, where slavery has re-appeared as a term to name
trafficking, gendered violence, and inhuman power systems.
