This episode examines the biblical problem of slavery through a natural law framework, distinguishing between immoral slavery and morally permissible servitude. Dr. Jacobs argues that what the Bible describes as "slavery" more closely resembles contractual servitude arrangements, lacking the five essential traits that make slavery immoral: abduction, coercion, brutality, squalor, and dehumanizing treatment. Using Eastern Orthodox theological anthropology and classical realism, he demonstrates how true slavery violates human nature by denying the fundamental freedom that defines rational beings. The analysis shows that both Old Testament law and early Christian teaching consistently condemned actual slavery while permitting voluntary service arrangements that preserved human dignity and self-determination. 00:00:00 Introduction 00:04:35 Let's talk about slavery 00:07:28 Providentialists 00:11:00 Good and evil as pleasure and pain 00:17:10 My "level 4" perspective 00:24:58 Moral responsibility 00:31:37 The natural law case against slavery 00:36:30 The features of slavery 00:41:18 Discipline for one's formation 00:45:28 The great chain of being 00:50:12 Slave/master relationship 00:53:00 Are the 5 traits of slavery essential? 00:56:47 "Slavery" scenario #2 01:00:31 Defining our terms 01:01:36 Is servitude immoral? 01:06:03 The early Christian view All the links: Substack: https://nathanajacobs.substack.com/ Instagram:   / thenathanjacobspodcast   Website: https://www.nathanajacobs.com/ X: https://x.com/NathanJacobsPod Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0hSskUt...
