Philemon: From slavery to freedom
A runaway slave, an imprisoned apostle, and a newly-converted slave owner: three of the main characters of this little-known letter of the Bible, written by Paul to his Christian friend, Philemon, over a seemingly insignificant domestic occurrence.
Christopher Brearley shows us how the book of Philemon, with its message of love and reconciliation, still holds valuable lessons for us today. Through following the heart-warming story of the probably reconciliation between slave and master (now brothers in Christ), we learn the biblical answer to slavery, how to tackle social injustice and the way in which God can transform ordinary people like ourselves.
