Hi, Phil. I’ve now posted two responses to Hector Avalos’ attacks on me, and attempts to deny or denigrate the role Christianity has played in overthrowing slavery. I hope you will find these interesting:

**I. “Why the hectoring, Dr. Avalos?” **Hector Avalos has a few simple tricks that he plays in trying to undermine the credibility of Christian opponents; the purpose of this article is to demonstrate the illegitimacy of those tricks, and (of course) to respond to his attacks on me:

**II. “Slave to Cherry-Picked Footnotes: 19 Problems with Hector Avalos on Religion and Human Bondage.” ** While not a full response, this article contains more details about the issue Avalos chooses to critique me on, the Christian record on slavery. It also demonstrates some pretty sloppy scholarship on Dr. Avalos’ part:

This is a new forum for us; substantive responses are welcome.
