• Harris speaks on the topic of doulos (slavery) in the New Testament. He highlights the complexity of slavery in the first century, and thus that the metaphor which Paul uses would have been shocking. Harris looks at what our slavery to God is, and it's relationship to righteousness. He looks at how the term 'kurios' or 'God' is used. Harris then examines the imagery of Jesus as 'kurios' and his followers as 'doulos'. Harris examines the imagery of a yoke, and that we are yoked to Christ. He explains that this submission to the kurios is both voluntary and involuntary. Harris explains that in the 1st century a slave could own other slaves, and thus be both a kurios and doulos at the same time. This is why Jesus is also described as being both. Harris explores the relationship between confessing Jesus as kurios, and thus our doulos to both Christ and other believers. Talk is followed by questions.
