In this teaching, we present an examination of slavery as depicted and regulated in the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. We survey key passages from the Tanakh (aka Old Testament) and the Messianic Scriptures (aka New Testament), situating ancient Israelite servitude within its Near Eastern context and contrasting it with later forms of bondage. We delve into the historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts to provide a nuanced understanding of slavery in the Bible.

This study invites thoughtful reflection on a challenging topic without shying from honest appraisal. We encourage you to engage with the material, ask questions, and share insights as we seek understanding together in a spirit of mutual respect and learning.

This is not a simplistic or emotional approach, but a diplomatic and thorough analysis for those seeking a deeper knowledge of the biblical text. Whether you are a student of biblical history, a church leader, or a seeker of theological depth, this presentation offers a rigorous yet accessible framework.

Most people tiptoe around slavery—regardless of whether or not scripture is in the spotlight. But in this sobering and eye-opening teaching from God Honest Truth, we peel back the layers of time to examine the reality of slavery—not as it appears in Scripture and not as it’s portrayed in popular historical re-imaginings, but for what slavery actually is as it played out across the globe in history.

Join us as we embark on a journey to understand the history of slavery across the globe and across human history. We will learn about how societies have grappled with, and in many cases, continue to grapple with. We will discover various examples of enslaved populations throughout history and the systems that employed them. We will expose the raw, unfiltered timeline of slavery outside the Bible: from the Greco-Roman world and Islamic trans-Saharan caravans, to the sugar plantations of Brazil, the Arab dhow raids on East Africa, and the largely forgotten White slave markets of the Barbary Coast. No excuses, no revisionist rubbish—just the historical facts.

This study does not explore slavery as illustrated in the Torah or practiced among the people of Yisra’ĕl, but rather focuses on how manmade systems of slavery changed and spread apart from Yahweh’s instruction through history and across cultures. In an upcoming video we will delve solely into slavery as it truly is from scripture.

So prepare for truth that cuts through centuries of myth and whitewashing. Come with an open mind and a ready heart, as we uncover the God Honest Truth of slavery in history.
