Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex history of the slavery in America in the context of biblical interpretations of slavery in the Old Testament. The author begins by establishing that at the time when the Old Testament laws permitting slavery were penned, slavery was the global norm in many cultures. The author then contextualizes the practice of slavery in ancient Israel, and argues that the Old Testament's laws governing slavery were actually intended to provide protections for those enslaved. In contrast, the author argues that the brutal practice of chattel slavery that emerged in the Americas was a far cry from the Mosaic model. The author concludes by suggesting that the history of slavery in America demands a reevaluation of how we interpret the biblical texts that sanction the practice of slavery, while shedding light on the history of slavery in the United States.
