This episode explores Gregory Nyssen's condemnation of slavery in his homily on Ecclesiastes 2. It is not super well known, in part because it was not translated into English in the NPNF series. We discuss why Nyssa rejects slavery and what makes his outlook so significant in the current climate of American Christianity.
