Exploring Philemon: Freedom, Brotherhood, And Partnership In The New Society

Synopsis

Exploring Philemon Shows How This Letter Entered The World Of The Ancient Mediterranean And The Early Church With A Dramatic And Powerful Rhetorical Force By Analyzing The Range Of Textures Interwoven With Each Other To Produce A Profound Effect On An Early Christian (philemon) And On The Church That Met In His Home. It Demonstrates That Many Striking And Subtle Features Work Together To Present A Rhetorical Argument That The New Christian Society Must Be One Of Freedom, Brotherhood, And Partnership Not Just For The Powerful, But For All.
