In this episode, we delve into the tiny book of Philemon where Paul is writing a letter to his friend, Philemon, urging him to forgive and free his runaway slave, Onesimus.
This letter raises all sorts of questions: How can a letter asking for the release of a runaway slave possibly have application for us? Who was Onesimus that Paul got personally involved in his situation? Why does Philemon, a Christian, own slaves? Since Paul never actually condemns slavery in the letter, does Paul and God condone slavery? And, of course, why is this book in the Bible?!
