Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the complex use of slavery metaphors in ancient Judaism and Christianity, highlighting how these images reflect the social realities of slavery while also differentiating God from human slave owners. It critiques the theological implications of viewing God as a slave master, acknowledging the limitations and problematic nature of this metaphor. By examining both ancient and modern perspectives on slavery, the text discusses the impact of historical contexts and abolitionist movements on the interpretation of these metaphors in religious texts.
