How Protestant Missionaries Encountered Slavery

[@polanve]

The intense focus on a particular period helps to break up the generalizations we all have from getting the 'readers digest' version in school.

Another great lecture on a very uncomfortable subject.

[@matthewkelly2399]

Hurrah...so looking forward to the next lecture series Alec presents

[@andresemilfer]

Great lecture. I'm afraid, however, that Prof. Ryrie's assertion that "the Netherlands is the very last European power to outlaw slavery in its colonial empire, as late as 1863" ought to be corrected. The Spanish Empire abolished slavery in its colony of Cuba as late as 1880 (and even then, there was a transitional period that lasted about 6 more years).

[@danielkaranja7978]

Great Britain was ahead in this, but the curious fact is that the last place they outlawed slavery was the coastline of what is now kenya, and that was done in 1907, yes in the 1900'a

I have no idea where to find the lectures before this one, or after. Gresham College offers a genuinely free and intellectually through way of learning; but if I cannot find the last and next lecture in any video, I know the content creator is weak and likely to be shut down, because that is what KZbin does to the most inane challengers to profit.

[@johnleake5657]

So... how did this happen? How did Spain and Portugal become slavers? How were non-Christian slaves in Granada, say, treated when it was conquered by the Spanish state?

Thank you.

I have enjoyed listening to your lectures but I am sorry that you haven't included the " Children of Noah. And the Seven Laws

Does the bible condone slavery?

[@marklewis4793]

the old testament tolerates and advises on it,

[@thehonestopinion1732]

Absolutely

[@robotniqueee]

You should definitely look up another video of professor Ryrie's "how we discovered slavery is wrong" for more great info

F A C T C H E C K 🔊 !!!!!!! Exodus 21:16 make yourselves 👉 useful look it up. Then y'all can admit it 👉No actually... The Bible doesn't🙄

[@GuessWhoAsks]

The bible also allowed slavery, so many Christians have a problem condemning slavery because it would conflict with their bible

Who outlawed slavery worldwide?

[@rachelsanger8629]

Surely nobody has done or could do that.

[@mugikuyu9403]

Nobody has outlawed slavery worldwide because that’s impossible. What happened was that countries all around the world made slavery illegal and dropped state support and protection of slavers.

[@andyf4292]

'the society for promulgation of the gospel' had the word 'society' branded into the chests of their slaves.....' encountered' is...probably not the word... ran with it like a kid with a balloon,possibly more accurate.

Ramblings by a colonizer

[@vegapunk100]

This narrative is getting old, the number of african indentured servants, slaves or war prisoners given to portoguese, spanish, dutch and later english ship captains were not in the millions as outdated history books say, the number was in the thousands. for example in the kingdom of benin a portoguese trade partner that had an embassy in rome, a dozen people were recorded to have been given to europeans ship captains, most of these were victims of opportunistic benin warriors who illegaly captured citizens of weaker surrounding states even if the Oba (king) abolished slavery. majority of servants in that kingdom were family servants part of the household or indentured servants. there are many sources that describe vast amounts of indigenous indians being enslaved by spanish captains and colonizers, and were referred to as "indians" not africans. African indentured servants and slaves arrived later starting from the later half of the 18th century and were not millions. the real athrocity was commited towards the native americans who were a copper skinned and dark skinned people, who in the 16th century were being attacked and enslaved by sephardic jewish ship captains who were descired as dark skinned with mixed crews of "pink faced" and "dusky" men. i guess academia will keep regurgitating this whorped version of history because at this point its all they know. most don't even think of ancient indigenous americans and brown and dark skinned people, they imagine the modern heavily mixed american indian.

Hmmm... Excuse me? I could have sworn the title of THIS particular lecture was...? How PROTESTANT Missionaries Encountered Slavery. Mr. Ryrie's brief presentation as given WAS (necessarily and understandably) limited addressing a FEW aspects of that (inaccurate) 'history'? Nevertheless seemed well WOKESPOKE! As a person born and raised in the present USA, and of whose ancestry whom would ABSOLUTELY be able to lay claim to what is the de riguer: 'Indigenous" or FBA? I PERSONALLY FIND NO OBJECTION to what was 'taught' during this viewing. Perhaps any critiques for or against YOUR objection might be more insightful and illuminating for ALL of us (perhaps deluded), after YOUR informed (and NO doubt), BETTER and more FOCUSED (without vitriol) FUTURE presentation?

[@SuperMookles]

"Native Americans were being enslaved by Sephardic Jewish ship's captains"? Are you high?

[@stefanpieper3757]

Sneaky antisemitism is still antisemitism.

[@JackAShepherd]

@@SuperMookles It's a Louis Farrakhan thing re: "Nation of Islam" (i.e., NOT Islam... It's an absurd twentieth century religion based on antisemitism)
