Produktbeschreibung
This volume examines the prevalence, function, and socio-political effects of slavery discourse in the major theological formulations of the late third to early fifth centuries AD, arguably the most formative period of early Christian doctrine.

This fascinating study is crucial reading for anyone with an interest in early Christianity or Late Antiquity, and slavery more generally.
