The Christian antislavery movement began in the eighteenth century and secured the abolition of slavery but now modern slavery has emerged and changed the context of the battle to abolish slavery again. This dissertation explores the nuances between the eighteenth century abolitionism and the twenty-first century antislavery movement, in light of current mission theology, and modern slavery studies, in order to understand how the Church can best respond to the issue. A biblical contextualisation and application of scripture is included.
