"I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was
in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become
useful both to you and to me." These words, written by the apostle
Paul to a first-century Christian named Philemon, are tantalizingly
brief. Indeed, Paul's epistle to Philemon is one of the shortest
books in the entire Bible. While it's direct enough in its way, it
certainly leaves plenty to the imagination. A Week in the Life of a
Slave is a vivid imagining of that story. From the pen of an
accomplished New Testament scholar, the narrative follows the slave
Onesimus from his arrival in Ephesus, where the apostle Paul is
imprisoned, and fleshes out the lived context of that time and
place, supplemented by numerous sidebars and historical images.
John Byron's historical fiction is at once a social and theological
critique of slavery in the Roman Empire and a gripping adventure
story, set against the exotic backdrop of first-century Ephesus.
