Summary
The history of slavery and racism goes back for millennia in our species, and Christians have certainly participated in some of the worst examples of it. In this week’s episode, though, Robert highlights how Christians have also been fighting against slavery from the very beginning, starting with Jesus and his extremely counter-cultural views on the topics.

| 1:20.6 | Last episode, we dealt with the ethical dilemma of Christian misogyny by admitting that though |
