Slavery in the Roman Empire -- Phlemon in the crucible of new world slavery and slavery today -- Authorship and date -- The social realities of Philemon : runaway or slave in search of a mediator? -- Text and commentary. Introduction (vv. 1-3) -- Thanksgiving (vv. 4-7) -- Paul's appeal for Onesimus (vv. 8-22) -- Conclusion (vv. 23-25).
520 _aPaul's letter to Philemon carries a strong message of breaking down social barriers and establishing new realities of conduct and fellowship. It is also a disturbing text that has been used to justify slavery. Though brief, Philemon requires close scrutiny. In this commentary Scot McKnight offers careful textual analysis of Philemon and brings the practice of modern slavery into conversation with the ancient text. Too often, McKnight says, studies of this short letter gloss over the issue of slavery--an issue that must be recognized and dealt with if Christians are to read Philemon faithfully. Pastors and scholars will find in this volume the insight they need to preach and teach this controversial book in meaningful new ways. --
