When a Great Cleric Becomes a Slaveholder

Anime and light novel protagonists who own slaves are a dime a dozen, and while these depictions of slavery can range from barely tolerable all the way to highly problematic, it’s pretty unusual for me to encounter an instance of slavery in fiction that reminds me of what the New Testament teaches on the subject.… Read More When a Great Cleric Becomes a Slaveholder
