Slaves of the Lord Jesus Christ William D Sprague

Slaves of the Lord Jesus Christ is a study of Paul's concept that the one who professes faith in Jesus Christ is indeed a slave of Jesus Christ, the believer's new Lord. Beginning with the focal verse of 1 Corinthians 7:22, ". . . He who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave," The author analyzes Paul's use of doulos and several other Greek words that are translated in English as "slave," "servant," or "minister." The book explores the Hebrew and Roman slavery practices of the First Century A. D. to provide cultural relevance. The author has included a chapter on the implications of Paul's thought for the Church today. Although the study is somewhat technical in nature it is balanced with a logical flow, and an interesting writing style.
