Customer comments on this selection.
 An excellent piece of work
In reading "What the Bible really says about Slavery" I would also conclude is a must read. If you know anything about Bible, it is a true fact that Paul talks about this in Ephesians and also mentions forgiving a slave in the book of Philemon. Ms. Dodds is an excellent writer and is addressing essential and pertinent data for today. Our God being the same yesterday, today, and forever let's know that nothing has changed. I have copies of two of her books, with one being sold out, and I must say that they are very interesting. Subsequently, a must have for your library. Since I am currently attending Ashland University, these books are apart of my theological collections. Excellent work Elreta, Noreta keep us informed!
 "The Bible never says anything against slavery"
This is a slim book, and can be read in a couple of hours. At that, it's over a hundred times too long. The relavent information could have been put on a post card. On page 61 it says ". . . the word of God (the Bible) never really says anything per se against the institution of slavery in general . . .." Title addressed, we can all get on with our lives and remember this when some politician starts talking about America being a Christian nation. The rest of the book is an attempt to rationalize this fact, and to claim that no matter how bad Christian slaveholders were, Muslem ones were worse.
If Ms. Dodds has any qualifications for writing this other than being Black and Protestant, she carefully conceals this from the reader. In fact discusing Satan she says he "was once named Lucifer by God, which in the Hebrew means "day star" or "Angel of light" . . .." Problem is that Lucifer means nothing "in the Hebrew," it's a Latin word. If Ms. Dodds can't tell Latin from Hebrew, and doesn't bother looking it up, I don't think she's qualified to write Christian Apologetics.
Don't waste time or money on this one.
