Slavery as Salvation

Meer over het boek

Exploring the use of slavery metaphors in early Christian texts, Dale B. Martin challenges the notion that such language would have repelled potential converts in the Greco-Roman world. By analyzing the social history and the rhetorical and theological conventions of the era, Martin sheds light on why figures like Paul employed the imagery of slavery to articulate concepts of salvation. This examination provides a deeper understanding of early Christian identity and the complexities of their messaging in a diverse cultural landscape.
