Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Elizabeth Wiley's narration is a model of balance and conviction in 'Christian Slavery.' Her measured pace allows for deep reflection on each chapter’s profound historical content. The audiobook’s structure is compelling, weaving together legal codes, religious beliefs, and personal narratives to create a vivid tapestry of slavery’s justification. However, the relentless focus on grim details can be overwhelming; listeners may need to take breaks or skip sections if they find the subject matter too heavy. Despite this, Gerbner's thesis shines through with clarity, making this audiobook an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the intricate interplay between religion and slavery in early America.
