This article explains the context of slavery in the Bible.

But perhaps more importantly is the bigger narrative that, from the beginning, God created man in his own image and with that declares all men are to be valued equally. Then, Jesus came to save all men, Jews and Gentiles alike. The God of the Bible loves all people and calls them to himself. Men, however, are sinful. So if anyone throughout history distorted the true stance of the Bible, they were wrong.
