We have examined the evolving consciousness of the authors and redactors of the Bible. This short series looks at the issues of social justice as they indicate an evolving morality and ethos concerning women, the poor, aliens and slaves, and attitudes toward those of different social strata. This segment will look at how aliens and slaves are treated and their role in the community. As the consciousness changes, more questions about who is alien and whether they can be included as part of the community arise. The implications of these questions have corollaries for our own modern world as well.
