hi there
I'm searching since a little while the general
subject of "Freedom and Liberty", not only in the Bible, but now as sub-issue
I'm dealing with a very interesting theme: Slavery. Certainly I know the
Bibliography and the past week I finish to read a marvellous "Semeia" about
"Slavery in Text and Interpretation".
I wish to share with some in the List a personal
query: S. Augustine in "Quaestiones in Heptateuchum" 11,77 seems to justify
theologically or pseudo-theologically some forms of slavery. Surely I knew the
interpretations about , "pro" and "contra" and also I was remembering a thesis
of G. Corcoran, an Irish scholar, about S. Augustine and Slavery. I was studente
at Rome when Fr. Corcoran defended his thesis.
But perhaps some member of the List'ld share
pointsd of view about. The subject deals with biblical texts. And about
Patristic texts, do you know if there's some Web Site about?
Sincerely and wishing to the List Members a
peaceful week,
Francis J. Weismann,
