The Bible and slavery -- The Bible and the Sabbath: Sabbath, Sabbath-Sunday, or Lord's Day? -- The Bible and war -- The Bible and women: male and female role relationships -- How then shall we use and interpret the Bible?

The Bible appears to give mixed and even conflicting signals on the four case issues of slavery, Sabbath, war, and women. New Testament scholar Willard Swartley seeks to identify the difficulties surrounding these discussions and clarify basic learnings in biblical interperation in a spirit of unity and dialogue.--
