Reviews
This broad contextualising of the specific investigation is executed with a sureness of touch and range of sources that make for a compelling read... * Charles George, Ecclesiastical Law Journal * This work is especially timely given recent developments, and is accessible for undergraduates while remaining valuable to scholars. * J. P. Blosser, CHOICE * This book will be valuable to those who are curious about how individual churches in Europe regulated slavery and serfdom. However, it will not answer questions about the social practice and meaning of bondage in the Church as a whole. * Alessandro Stanziani, Journal of Interdisciplinary History * The book does not present an apology for the behavior of past Christian leaders, but attempts to learn what they did and to arrive at some understanding of why they made those choices. * Interpretation: A Journal of Bible and Theology *
