Review:
Moss has a point.  The point is that slaves MAY have been involved in writing the New Testament.  She offers an educated opinion and gives some compelling reasons.  The fact remains, however, that it is equally likely that NO slaves were involved.  There is simply nothing known about the scribes who initially wrote and who later copied the early New Testament books.  Moss focuses on the horror of slavery the salacious and sickening details of martyrdom.  I did not enjoy it and I lost the point among, "...perhaps...maybe...perhaps...these facts..."
