Obscuring New Testament Slavery
Translations of the New Testament have historically rendered the word δοῦλος as servant instead of slave, even if δοῦλος is not an ambiguous term. In more recent translations, δοῦλος is increasingly, but still not consistently, translated as slave. The effect of these translations has been to obscure slavery in early Christianity and to overlook the political and colonial legacy of the Bible in legitimising (colonial) slavery. This article provid…
‘Many Shall Come From the East and West’
While baptisms of African and Asian people in the Dutch Republic have been studied on an anecdotal and often very local basis, a systematic analysis of these baptisms presents a gap in the literature.

With respect to Suriname th…

These genres, which make use of narrative analogy, appear in early Christian and ancient Jewish literatures and in various Graeco-Roman sources. However, despite the fact that these texts were part of the wider cultural context of Graeco-Roman antiquity, they have not yet been thoroughly studied in relation to each other…
