We could wish for Paul to speak out boldly against the institution of slavery, but he doesn’t. Indeed, he spends more time teaching slaves to obey their masters than he does teaching the members of the nuclear family (Col 3:22-25). Still, he attempts to transform the institution from the inside out, as he does other household relationships. And what he teaches is of particular importance, given the controversy that pit the interests of a Colossian slave against his Christian owner.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/rpMoMN4XvSZIJaJTMFUdsdagrdkDHDj5X9TO6JkXKK0/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9jYzRj/ZmQ1OGJhNWViZjUw/NTA4NjNmNDQ1YWFh/OGI4ZS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
