Last week, while preaching from Ephesians 6:5-9, I mentioned that the New Testament does not endorse slavery. I also promised to publish a blog post addressing this issue in detail. I have not been able to finish the post, but I should be able to publish it by the end of next week. This short video by Susan Wise Bauer (College of William and Mary) addresses the misunderstanding many have regarding Christianity and Slavery. Basically her thesis is: Yes, some "Christians" in the American south used the NT to condone slavery, but this was an abuse of Scripture.
