Slavery as Salvation

Viac o knihe

The book explores the use of slavery metaphors by early Christians, particularly by figures like Paul, to describe their relationship with God and Christ. It challenges the notion that such language would deter Greco-Roman converts, instead analyzing the social history, rhetorical strategies, and theological context of the era. Through this examination, Dale B. Martin sheds light on the significance and implications of these metaphors in early Christian thought and their impact on the understanding of salvation.
