The Book of PHILEMON -- Episode #111
The subject, tragedy and types of SLAVERY have been an issue for all of human history. In the book of PHILEMON Paul writes an intimate appeal to his friend Philemon. The one who carries this letter to Philemon is none other than an escaped 'slave' (or indentured servant) named Onesimus. In these 25 verses, Paul appeals to his Friend to accept Onesimus as a new brother and an equal co-worker in God's Kingdom. In this Episode, we address the different 'types' of 'slavery... and the Biblical demand that we esteem one another 'equal' in the eyes of God.
