Bible Dyke Deep Dive: Philemon
Manage episode 360480929 series 3361055
In this episode, we get down and dirty and nerdy with Paul’s letter to Philemon, his shortest letter in the New Testament. We discuss the historical background and the gaps that the letter doesn’t tell us (why do people assume Philemon’s slave Onesimus was the one in the wrong?). We also rant about how Paul could have been clearer in his words that slavery is wrong. Although we can take some moral lessons from this letter (the example of deep friendship between Onesimus and Paul), it is important to remember that this was written to a specific person about an interpersonal conflict that we don’t know all the details about (and it definitely doesn’t mean that when you forgive you have to bring that person back into your life, yikes!).
