For many, slavery is one of the most troubling issues when reading through the Bible. Some passages seem to regulate it, while others proclaim freedom and equality in Christ. It’s no surprise that critics often point to these tensions and ask whether Scripture contradicts itself on this sensitive subject.
So how should Christians think about slavery in the Bible—especially in light of passages like Ephesians 6:5 and Galatians 3:28? Are these verses at odds, or are we missing historical and cultural context that helps them make sense together?
