Postscript summary

Paul’s briefest extant writing, Philemon is a personal letter which aims to reunite two estranged followers of the apostle – Philemon and Onesimus – through the teachings of Jesus. Offering insights into the Graeco-Roman world and especially slavery, the epistle has been the subject of much scholarly interpretation and debate. Seesengood’s study introduces the text, characters and issues of Philemon and examines the various historical interpretations of the text. From T&T Clark’s series of Study Guides to the New Testament.
