Bible Problems: Slavery - Part 2

In part two of a three-part series on slavery in the Bible, Dan Weatherall and Martyn Lawrence respond to listener comments and continue examining Old Testament passages in context. They defend Genesis 1’s “image of God” as a basis for human dignity and then explore Deuteronomy 23:15–16 on runaway slaves being protected and integrated, contrasting it with Hammurabi’s code and American slave laws, Finally they tackle the difficult Leviticus 25 passage on foreign slaves while noting protections for foreigners in Leviticus 24 and the wider narrative (including Ruth).
