How Can We Trust A Bible That Tolerated Slavery?
Behind race relations in America lies an ugly historical fact. Some people still believe the Bible justifies slavery. They cite passages like, "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear" (Eph. 6:5). They also point out that church leaders during the middle 1800s used the Bible to defend slavery.
How can we trust a book that was used to justify the terrible evil of buying, breeding, and selling humans like animals? I hope the answer to these questions will become clear as we review together what the Bible really says about slavery.
