What was slavery in the New Testament world?
This episode shifts the conversation onto the Greco-Roman world and New Testament slavery, examining how slavery actually functioned in that cultural context.
Dr. Mark Chavalas critiques modern claims—like those in God's Ghostwriters by Candida Moss—that enslaved individuals played a major role in writing the New Testament, arguing that these ideas are largely speculative and lack solid evidence.
The discussion then explores how widespread and complex slavery was in the Roman world, where enslaved people could hold skilled positions, gain education, and even achieve freedom—making it very different from modern assumptions shaped by more recent history. Ultimately, the episode challenges listeners to rethink their definitions of slavery and recognize how deeply cultural context shapes the way we interpret the Bible.
