Samenvatting
In studies about slavery and the New Testament, references to the Gospels are underrepresented compared to the Pauline letters. Moreover, focusing on studies about slavery and the Jesus movement in the Gospels, there is a clear unbalance between the representation of the real slavery compared to metaphorical. Based on historical analysis, memory studies and aligning with the perspectives of the ‘Next Quest for the historical Jesus’, this current research tries to (re)explore the traditions from the Gospels where Jesus might have been in touch with real slavery. Consequently, by analysing Jesus’ relation to wealth and his proclamation of the Kingdom of God, this work intends to find what Jesus’ answer could be to the slaves. After an in-depth analysis of the context of his ministry and the exegesis of the concept of the Kingdom of Father, this research presumably points to an incredibly intriguing novelty. Namely, that there might be a perspective in which Jesus’ mission was to the slaves.
