Summary

How should Christians today think about slavery? Do the Old Testament laws support slavery or condemn it? In this episode, Emma Dotter is joined by Elizabeth Hoffman and Kate Summers to talk all about Exodus 21 -22:15.

High-Level Takeaways:

IN EVERY SINGLE CASE OF 21ST-CENTURY SLAVERY, GOD WOULD CONDEMN AS SIN.

We can’t assume that because slavery still exists that it has always operated in the same way.
