Book Synopsis Enslaved Leadership in Early Christianity by : Katherine Ann Shaner
Book excerpt: Slaves were ubiquitous in the first- and second-century CE Roman Empire, and early Christian texts reflect this fact. This book argues that enslaved persons engaged in leadership roles in civic and religious activities. Such roles created tension within religious groups, including second-century communities connected with Paul's legacy. -
