Slavery is an important and consistent theme throughout the bible, beginning with a prediction to Abraham that his people would spend 400 years in slavery. Abraham's great-grandson Joseph is sold by his brothers and transported to Egypt by Arab cousins, so that in slavery, the Israel tribes develop. The next book of the Torah/Law begins with Moses leading his people out of this slavery, but the Law endorses and makes full provision for slavery to continue. In the New Testament, slavery is an ever-present cultural reality, and writers do not in any way challenge this reality. Rather, St Paul calls himself a "slave". Jesus is said to have "learned obedience” Heb 5:8, and St Peter advises aspiring leaders to "humble themselves" 1Peter 5:6. while religious members are to "submit" Heb 13:17. Most of the founders of Christianity experienced slavery or captivity, especially in the early centuries. More recently, an English slave captain, and once himself a slave of a woman. John Newton, preaching in London, began a Slave Abolition movement, and this created considerable tensions, especially in the USA, as this matter was debated from the bible by Christians. The Bible can be interpreted differently, especially as civilisational changes take place in human culture. One recent example of this was The Family (Children of God), who used 1 Corinthians 6:20 to sanction and develop the sexual prostitution of family members in the early 80s.
