Description
The shortest Pauline epistle we have is a very personal one, addressed to Philemon, a Christian and friend of Paul, concerning Philemon's runaway slave named Onesimus. What does Paul ask of Philemon and why? Was Onesimus ever granted his freedom? How did someone become a slave during antiquity? Why didn't St. Paul or the Church condemn slavery outright? How were slaves treated as members of the Church? Join us as we discuss slavery in the Roman Empire and the epistle of Paul to Philemon.
