Philemon
Book • 60
The Book of Philemon is one of the shortest letters written by Paul and is part of the New Testament.
It was written during Paul's first Roman imprisonment, around AD 60-62.
The letter addresses Philemon, a wealthy Christian in Colossae, regarding his runaway slave, Onesimus.
Onesimus had fled to Rome, where he encountered Paul and became a Christian.
Paul writes to Philemon to appeal for Onesimus's return, asking him to treat Onesimus not just as a slave but as a brother in Christ.
The letter emphasizes the themes of forgiveness, reconciliation, and the equal status of believers in Christ, regardless of their social positions.
Paul offers to take on any debt or wrongdoing attributed to Onesimus, demonstrating the principles of Christian love and grace.
