520			_aThe ancient Egyptians held the Hebrews in bondage for four centuries, from 1870-1440 B.C...European slave traders forced Africans into servitude from 1440-1870 A.D...beyond the parallel dates of enslavement, what other similarities - if any - exist between the two different periods of human enslavement...? Throughout the pages of The Spiritual Root Of Slavery, author Marcella Denise Spencer expounds on the depths of that question in thorough, insightful detail. Backed by sound historical research, as well as applicable biblical scripture, Spencer's informative treatise does a commendable job of revealing for the reader powerful historical truths often omitted from more mainstream sources. Given the controversial nature of her chosen topic, it would be easy for Spencer - or anyone else, for that matter - to proselytize, but she skillfully avoids stoking the flames of personal passion, instead presenting an unbiased, historically-accurate picture of the roots of human slavery. As such, readers are sure to finish her masterful work surprisingly enlightened, and subsequently more empowered to educate others regarding the true spiritual and psychological ramifications of a historical phenomenon that continues to shape modern civilization. A highly recommended read.
