Interpreting The Role of Enslaved Workers in Writing

Enslaved workers played crucial roles in the production of written texts like the New Testament, engaging in tasks such as copying manuscripts, taking dictation, and aiding in literary activities.

By bridging the fields of slavery studies and New Testament research, the book unveils the significant but often overlooked involvement of enslaved Christians in shaping the Bible's content and transmission.
