I must with utmost honesty say that before this required reading I had absolutly no idea who Olaudah Equiano was. I had never herd of him. I found it fascinating that he was one of the vary first anti-slave writers in the new world. I also feel an important note to add is that It was interesting that the anti-slave writings and justifications were based off of christian morals and ethics.
One of the most fascinating aspects about Equiano's writing is that he came to know Christ because he was a slave. The autobiographical approach enables us to look at the changes as they occured in Equiano's life. God has a perfect plan for everyone, and its quite easy to see how God was able to "bear fruit" through Equiano's life.
