Reviews

De Wet's study is an essential contribution to understanding slavery in antiquity. Journal of Global Slavery Offers a major contribution to the history of ideas in western thought, delineating how a core set of ideas, transformed through a Christian lens, led to the passive acceptance of the (gendered) oppression of other human beings... This is a book to be read by scholars across a wide range of interests and disciplines. Acta Classica Highly refreshing and a great contribution to the study of Chrysostom. Relegere de Wet's outstanding monograph is a major contribution to the cultural history of late antiquity. Journal of Early Christian Studies Comprehensive, reliable and informative...I predict it will become a reference or even a compulsory reading material for early Christian approaches to slavery. Augustiniana
