The New Testament finds many ways to depict the relationship of Christians and their Lord. But it is perhaps too little recognized that they are also his slaves. They are his disciples, sons, daughters and friends.
Harris sets out to uncover what it means to be a slave of Christ. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Murray J. He begins by assessing the nature of actual slavery in the Greco-Roman world and the New Testament's attitude towards it.
