This teaching module is based on The christian Church and Slavery.

  1. Preparatory readings for module.

  2. Discussion questions.

  3. Experiential activities related to module.

    1. If you attend a church, considering talking to some of the church members, perhaps of different age groups, whether Christians had anything to do with slavery, and, if so, what? How many of those you manage to discuss this with know about the role of the early Church with slavery? Do they know that Christians in those times also had slaves? What do they think of that?

  4. Self-test questions related to module.

    True or False? And explain briefly why it's true or false. (25 words or less)

    1. It's against the Christian religion to have slaves.

  5. Conceptual linking we had in mind as we prepared the module.
