Why did the Bible allow slavery and abolitionist challenges
The article explores why biblical texts tolerated slavery in ancient times and why Western Christian abolitionists opposed it. It cites scholars like Lamin Sanneh and Charles Colson, notes Vatican and Catholic positions, and outlines 19th century debates led by Theodore Weld about biblical slavery versus chattel enslavement, including how Old Testament law addressed slavery and how New Testament household slavery differed in practice.
