Philemon | Onesimus, Philemon, and The Early Church

This week we dive deeper into the world of the Roman slave market. Blending a combination of both a robust understanding of Roman household codes with a nod to Paul's rabbinic Judaism, we can discover the profound themes of exile and redemption present in his letter. In Paul's understanding the ideas of slavery and liberation are not only ideas, but central themes connected to exile and redemption in his theology. Something he embodies in his letter. #ohcrc #philemon
