Having Scott Bartchy as my advisor (to whom Harrill and Glancy respond and build upon), slavery is certainly an issue in my sights. Unfortunately, we don't have much on slavery in the undisputed letters. 1 Cor 7, of course, and that's what Bartchy did his dissertation on. Jeremy, Thanks for your response.

They both focus on his attitude to slavery in particular, not empire in general, but as they and pretty much everyone else argue, the Roman empire was largely built by slaves and its continuation depended upon them. So when they argue that slavery was/is bad and that Paul supported it that might be close to what you're after. Struggling to remember more general “Empire is bad + Paul is imperialist” people at the moment, sorry. I'm sure there are some, they're just not coming to mind.
