The Negro Bible - The Slave Bible


Book Description

The Slave Bible was published in 1807. It was commissioned on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves in England. The Bible was to be used by missionaries and slave owners to teach slaves about the Christian faith and to evangelize slaves. The Bible was used to teach some slaves to read, but the goal first and foremost was to tend to the spiritual needs of the slaves in the way the missionaries and slave owners saw fit.

Galatians and the Imperial Cult


Book Description

Justin K. Hardin assesses the imperial cult as the background for understanding the social setting of Paul's letter to the Galatians. After providing a new reading of certain sections of the letter, he offers a fresh hypothesis for the situation of the Galatian churches. Thus, he contributes to the ongoing debate on the importance of the imperial cult for the social and religious setting of the New Testament era. The argument is advanced in two parts. In Part One, 'The Imperial Cult and Ideology in the Roman World and in Galatia', the author undertakes a thematic sketch and assessment of emperor worship and imperial ideology during the Julio-Claudian period, including a detailed study on the province of Galatia. In Part Two, 'The Imperial Cult in the Galatian Letter', he then turns to Paul's letter in order to evaluate the imperial cult as a backdrop from which to understand the crisis in Galatia. First is a discussion of Paul's claim in Gal 6:12-13 that the 'agitators' were compelling the Galatians to be circumcised only that they (the agitators) might avoid persecution for the cross of Christ. Hardin evaluates whether the Jesus-believers were being persecuted by the civic authorities in Galatia for not observing the imperial cult. The initial point of reference in the subsequent chapter is the statement in Gal 4:10 that the Galatian Jesus-believers were observing 'days, months, seasons, and years'. Here, Hardin evaluates the recent suggestion that Gal 4:10 refers to the imperial cultic calendar. After a careful exegesis and a fresh reading of the broader passage (4:1-11) is undertaken, the author provides a new understanding of the situation in the Galatian churches at the time of Paul's letter.




Breaking Evil Yokes


Book Description

No matter how it may sound, no evil yoke is good for anything. Satan has bound billions of people in yokes of different types and degrees. The yoke that the devil lays on humanity is what is called an evil yoke. I have only looked out five of those yokes in details. Ranging from yoke of transgression to yoke of the Jaw, the devil is busy, killing, stealing and destroying. Other types of yokes include: yoke of the youth, yoke of bondage, the yoke of unbelief and the yoke of the wood. These yokes as Jesus describes them are heavy and burdensome. No one under any evil yoke can prosper or live a victorious Christian life on earth. In my several decades in ministry, I have seen and witnessed several evil yokes that Satan has laid on people. But there is good news: Jesus breaks yokes! No matter the type of yoke you have been struggling with, Jesus, the yoke-breaker will take it off from you and grant you rest. I urge you to read this book prayerfully. More so, give your life to Christ if you have not done so; and rededicate your life to Him if you have backslidden. There are prayers on diverse types of yokes that if you pray, God will deliver you. I recommend that you add fasting to those prayers as well as pray at midnight. As you read, may the Lord break every yoke in your life, no matter how strong, how long or how small in Jesus name. Amen!
