TH 262 Slavery and Christian Theology

Ethical Reasoning. Faith and Reason Theology.
This course explores the intersections between
slavery and Christian theology in the historical
contexts of the ancient Roman Empire and the
United States. The course starts from the
presupposition that slavery is a moral evil.
Students will read biblical and historical texts
from Christians who support slavery and Christians
who oppose slavery. The big questions of the
course revolve around the relationships between
moral discernment, social evils, and religious
belief and practice.
