Slavery and the Bible

by Brian Lowe | Apr 23, 2013 | News

On Sunday, we looked at 1 Timothy 6:1-2 which talks about bondservants and masters. Texts like this can be really hard to understand and apply to our current contexts. These texts can also make us questions whether the Bible should be believed at all. Why should I trust a book that seems to condone something that is awful.

To help with this, here are two resources for you to consider.

Does the Bible Condone Slavery – The Village Church

Every Inch of His Word – Sermon from Colossians
