Slavery in Early Christianity
Glancy, Jennifer A. (Georg Professor of Religious Studies, Georg Professor of Religious Studies, Le Moyne College)
Jennifer A. Glancy offers a comprehensive re-examination of the evidence pertaining to slavery in early Christianity. Drawing on a wide variety of sources, Glancy situates early Christian slavery in its broader cultural setting. The churches, she shows, grew to maturity with the assumption that slaveholding was the norm.
