The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Philemon
QUICK SUMMARY
Written from prison by Saint Paul, The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to Philemon – a wealthy leader in the Colossian Church – is the shortest of his extant letters, but nonetheless powerful.
Written on behalf of a runaway slave who had converted to Christianity, Paul sent the slave back to Philemon with the letter in order to reconcile and forgive him, taking him back not as a slave, but as a “fellowprisoner” in Christ. The letter serves as a testament to forgiveness, equality and justice, and a practical application of the healing power of faith in Jesus.
