This book remains genuinely a classic for its historiographical sophistication, historical insights, exegetical acuity, groundbreaking topics, and relevant ethics. As if these qualities were not enough, this work continues to challenge historians, interpreters, and theologians to revise their assumptions about the politics of early Christian literature. --Luis Menéndez-Antuña, assistant professor of New Testament, Boston University There is no other way to say it: Slavery in Early Christianity is both paradigm shattering and the beginning of a new map for Christian scripture studies. Richly researched, devastatingly relevant, lucidly written, Glancy's work continues to challenge and inspire a new generation of creative scholarship and necessary activism. This expanded edition illuminates the wide-ranging influence of Glancy's clarion call to wrestle with slavery as a pervasive logic in New Testament texts and Christian histories. --Katherine A. Shaner, associate professor of New Testament, Wake Forest University, and author of Enslaved Leadership in Early Christianity
