Paul uses the metaphors of slavery and freedom throughout his letter to the Galatians. But there were those who heard this letter read for whom slavery and achieved freedom were no metaphor but a lived experience. What did freedom mean to these people, either slaves longing for manumission or freedpersons who had received it? Can this view of freedom inform our understanding of the freedom proclaimed in Gal 5:1? To answer this question, this study will investigate what led to slaves being set free in both the Greek and Roman manumission systems and the extent of the freedom they received.This study begins with an exploration of first Greek and then Roman manumission. In each system, I establish what led an owner to manumit a slave, how such a manumission took place and at what cost, the extent of freedom that a manumitted slave might experience, and the benefits of manumission for a slave. In order to determine this information, I examine legal, literary, and inscriptional sources. Following this analysis, I explore the Greek, Roman, and Jewish concepts of freedom. My goal is not to determine a definition of freedom from each viewpoint, but to search for the range of ideas that freedom would invoke for ancient Greek, Roman, or Jewish persons. While the concept of freedom can certainly be present even when the specific terminology is not, I limit my examination of the sources to the occurrences of the specific freedom terminology.I then turn my attention to Paul's letter to the Galatian churches. I trace the various terms and ideas associated with manumission and freedom through this letter and compare the freedom found in the lived experience of freedpersons with the freedom Paul proclaimed. I do this by considering the same topics explored for Greek and Roman manumission: reasons for providing freedom, means and cost of providing freedom, extent of freedom provided, and benefits of freedom. I conclude by proposing that an understanding of the manumission of slaves in the first century and the circumscribed freedom they received leads to an understanding that the freedom spoken of in Gal 5:1 entails not only spiritual freedom but personal freedom as well.
