Bible Atrocities – Slavery in the New Testament

In this episode we continue our series on the supposed atrocities that are found within the Bible. We have looked at slavery in the past two episodes dealing with the Ancient Near Eastern cultural context and the casuistic laws found in the Old Testament. In this episode we move into the 1st century and explore how Jesus and Paul interacted with the topic of slavery.

Bible Atrocities 2.1 – Doesn’t the Bible Condone Slavery?!

We return in this episode to the series we had started on the so called Bible Atrocities and will start to address the question, “Doesn’t the Bible condone slavery?!” Answering this question may take 3 to 4 episodes as we explore the cultural and historical contexts of Ancient Israel, examine some of the casuistic (case) laws in the Pentateuch, investigate how the New Testament addresses the issue of slavery and servitude in light of the person and work of Jesus Christ found in the Gospel and then wrap up considering the role that Bible played in the New World African slave trade.

A Response to Greta Christina on What Would Change Her Beliefs

In this episode we respond to an article by Atheistic Fundamentalist blogger Greta Christina on just what would make her lose her belief in atheism and acquire a belief in God.

It appears that I may be a better skeptic and naturalist than she is!

The Freed Thinker: An Intelligent Faith

This is a podcast project spawned from years of study and discussion in areas of theology, philosophy, Biblical studies, science and many other topics. I try to be fair and balanced in my critiques of atheism and naturalism but also the problems I see in modern American Evangelicalism, Christian liberalism and Christian Fundamentalism.
