Big idea

Biblical slavery texts span different institutions and trajectories and must not be used to sanitise modern racial chattel slavery.

Guardrails

Differentiate ancient servitude institutions from modern racial chattel slavery while refusing to sanitize exploitation in either context. | Do not claim the Bible's presence of slavery regulation equals moral endorsement of slavery as an ideal.
