Literalism and slavery

[bobcr...@gmail.com]

This quote from religioustolerance.org knocked me over:

"If we apply sola scriptura to slavery, I'm afraid the abolitionists
are on relatively weak ground. Nowhere is slavery in the Bible
lambasted as an oppressive and evil institution - Vaughn Roste, United
Church of Canada staff.

"http://www.religioustolerance.org/sla_bibl.htm

Is the connection between fundamentalist hermeneutics and slavery more
than coincidental? Do Evangelicals insist on literal interpretation
because literal interpretation supports oppression?
