The Bible's trajectory on slavery moves from regulating and humanizing it in the OT to full abolition ideology in the NT (Philemon)

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 18) 00:38:29 – 00:39:30

Closing summary of the slavery question.

Mike rejects both naive apologia ("no problems with OT slavery") and simplistic condemnation. The biblical arc: OT removes abuses of slavery via law → NT in Philemon reaches the logical endpoint where Paul treats the slave Onesimus as a brother, not property. Paul's letter to Philemon is the last thorough biblical treatment of slavery and implicitly argues for manumission.
