In this exciting new analysis of slaves and slavery in the New Testament, Harrill breaks new ground with his extensive use of Greco-Roman evidence, discussion of hermeneutics, and treatment of the use of the New Testament in antebellum U.S. slavery debates. He examines in detail "Philemon", "1 Corinthians", "Romans", "Luke"-"Acts", and the household codes.
J Albert Harrill is Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University. His first book The Manumission of Slaves in Early Christianity examines 1 Corinthians and the letters of Ignatius of Antioch.
