Who Would Jesus Enslave?

There's this booklet called Southern Slavery, As It Was that tries to provide a biblical justification for slavery, and it's part of the curriculum at Cary Christian School.

Pretty scary, I thought. Because in Sunday School, I learned that we should be nice to everyone and I don't think enslaving someone is being very nice to them.

I also ran across this nice book review by Gen. JC Christian on Amazon.com. I think you'll like it.

What would Jesus Do?, December 10, 2004

That’s a question many of us good, God-fearing Christians ask ourselves many times a day. Douglas Wilson has the answer. Jesus would buy and sell his neighbors.

It’s refreshing to see someone like Wilson stand up and fight for a time-honored moral value like slavery. I hope that more people will do the same. Certainly, the results of the last election suggest that a truly conservative Christianity is back in vogue. We have political capital. We should use it to put people in chains. Then, perhaps we can bring back genocide too. It’ll be just like old times.
