Shocking Truth about Slavery in the Bible

Slavery is a prominent theme in the Bible. The word slave appears more than two hundred times in the Bible, and the Bible describes physical slavery and spiritual slavery. Some people wonder why God did not abolish slavery when he gave the laws through Moses. Indeed, some of the most difficult passages of scripture are the ones that discuss slaves in the laws of Moses. In this video, I will discuss those difficult passages, as well as the bigger redemption story of Jesus Christ coming to set us free from slavery to sin, death, and fear. And the most startling imagery of all: That our God became a slave, and calls us to do the same. Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all."

If my discussion on slavery in the laws of Moses is unsatisfying, here are some videos by someone with much more expertise in the Biblical language and culture:
