Beginning by recalling the nature of slavery in the Greco-Roman world and the New Testament's point of view on this subject, Murray Harris develops the use of this metaphor in relation to four themes: freedom, lordship, property and privilege. He thus restores to this metaphor, essentially Pauline, but not exclusively - John uses it several times in the Apocalypse - its letters of nobility and shows all the richness of its content. A wealth to (re)discover.
