Attersoll’s logic is unsparing: if you’d condemn someone for hamstringing a man already struggling to walk, why is it harder to condemn those who find elaborate reasons to push down people already barely keeping their heads above water? If we thrust down the brother in necessity, he asks, how dwelleth the love of God in us? It’s a reasonable question. Modern discourse has yet to produce a satisfying answer.

Alexander Maclaren, a Scottish Baptist, notes in Philemon that Christianity quietly detonates status: slave and woman alike are raised, not by slogans but by standing shoulder to shoulder in Christ’s work, proclaiming salvation equally offered to all.
Curious, then, how today, indulgence toward historical slavery so often pairs with fury at feminism. What if Paul had the better instinct?
