How could God be good when He makes provision for slavery in the Bible? In today’s #TakeFive, RZIM Canada’s Daniel Gilman examines this question by first looking at what African American slaves found in the Bible, which allowed them to see through slave master’s distortions of the Old Testament. For more on questions about slavery and the Bible be sure to check out Paul Copan’s “Is God A Moral Monster?” or read this article from Brandon Cleaver, “How Can I Trust the Bible When it was Used to Justify Slavery?”: https://www.rzim.org/read/rzim-global/how-can-i-trust-the-bible-when-it-was-used-to-justify-slavery.
