520 _a"Is Slavery Sanctioned by the Bible?" by Isaac Allen is a theological work written in the mid-19th century, during a time of significant national debate over slavery in the United States. This book examines biblical texts to determine whether the Bible condones the institution of slavery, addressing arguments from both proponents and opponents of slavery. The author delves into interpretations of the Old and New Testaments to argue that the biblical stance is not one of endorsement but rather one that opposes the practices associated with chattel slavery. In the book, Allen systematically analyzes various biblical passages, exploring terms related to slavery and servitude in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. He emphasizes the difference between ancient forms of labor and modern chattel slavery, arguing that the Bible promotes principles of freedom and equality rather than oppression. The author also critiques the justification for slavery based on biblical texts, asserting that passages often cited to support slavery are misinterpreted or taken out of context. Ultimately, Allen concludes that true biblical teachings advocate for liberty and human dignity, positioning his work as a moral and ethical critique of slavery as practiced in his time.
