Although relatively brief, Philippians is one of the most
interesting and beloved of Paul's undisputed epistles. In
Philippians and Philemon, Bonnie Thurston makes a convincing case
that canonical Philippians is as Paul wrote it, one letter.
Although there is not enough specific evidence to "name names," she
suggests a number of possible audiences. A translation conforming
as closely as possible to the original Greek is provided, along
with a careful analysis of the language of the letter that yields
insights into the context and theological underpinning of this
epistle. The apostle's very brief letter to Philemon stands solidly
within the Pauline collection of authentic and canonical letters.
In this volume, Judith Ryan argues that Philemon makes two specific
appeals. The first seeks to elicit Philemon's partnership and his
community's support in welcoming Onesimus back as both beloved
brother and honored guest. The second requests that Onesimus be
allowed to use the freedom he already has to serve Christ and his
Gospel. In this commentary Ryan provides a fresh translation,
critical notes for each verse, and interpretation on defined
sections. She situates the letter in the historical context of
slavery in the ancient world and shows how Paul combined his
theology with contemporary rhetorical strategies to produce an
effective challenge to his audience. Bonnie B. Thurston, PhD, lives
in West Virginia in solitude. She is ordained in the Christian
Church (Disciples of Christ) and the author of several books,
including The Spiritual Landscape of Mark and Religious Vows, the
Sermon on the Mount, and Christian Living (Liturgical Press) and
Preaching Mark (Fortress Press). Judith M. Ryan, PhD,STL, is
associate professor of New Testament at the University of St.
Thomas School of Theology at St. Mary's Seminary, Houston, Texas.
Previously she taught at Catholic University of America, Fordham
University, the University of Scranton, College Misericordia, and
St. Mary's Seminary and University, Baltimore, Maryland.
