W. H. Paul Thompson critiques modern scholarship on Pauline slavery for failing to define and
reason consistently about equality. Instead  he engages in an equality analysis of Aristotle
and Seneca in their Greco-Roman contexts  the Torah and its Jewish reception  and selected
Pauline texts. Focusing on slave welfare - how slaves should be treated relative to free
persons of the same historical context - rather than on abolitionism or reinforcement of slave
submission  the author argues for a distinctive Jewish ethic of numerically equal treatment
between slave and free that imitates Yahweh's impartiality. The Apostle reorients this ethic
into a Christocentric framework to intensify both the quality of slave obedience and the degree
of slave welfare required relative to the prevailing Roman ethos.
