To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The English Version and most commentators translate this word numstealer, or kidnapper, who enslaves free persons and sells them,— a crime punished with death under the Old Testament, Exod. 21 : 16 ; Dent. 24 : 7. But some dictionaries assign to avSpaTrodiar^c al.so the more general meaning of slave-trader, just as KepfiaTiarfj^ is not a money-steaier^ but a moneys changer (John 2: 14). The apostle would, no doubt, have embraced all persons engaged in the horrors of the African slave-trade unde...r the same category and condemnation. Digitized by VjOOQ IC SLAVERY AND THE BIBLK 205 hands of fiinful and erring man, may be unselfish, humane and beneficial ; just as an absolute monarchy may be a good form of government in the hands of a good monarch who rules in the fear of God and with a single eye to the happiness of his subjects while incapable of self-government. The latter makes the slave- holder the proprietor or owner of the slave and gives him the legal — though not the moral — right to turn the doubs into an andrapodon, the person into a mere thing or "animated tool,'* and to dispose of him as of any other aiticle of merchandise for his own profit The predominance of the one or the other of these ideas determines the character of the institution and tends either to the elevation or the degradation of the slave.
