The Letter to Philemon (Paperback)

Although sometimes regarded as trivial because of its brevity or
its treatment of issues distant from the modern world, the letter
to Philemon remains valuable both for its insight into the social
setting of the New Testament and for its reiteration of a central
component of the gospel-brotherly love. This superb new commentary
in the ECC series is unique for its exhaustive study of the ancient
world at the time Philemon was written. The volume examines the
institution of slavery in Paul's day, drawing on secular sources
from Greece and Rome and from Christian writers of the time. The
references to slavery found in Ephesians, Colossians, and 1 Timothy
are also compared and contrasted with Paul's words in Philemon. In
addition, the verse-by-verse commentary focuses on important themes
in Pauline theology, including love, faith and faithfulness, church
unity, providence, free will, and human responsibility. Markus
Barth makes his exposition even more useful by surveying the
history of the interpretation of Philemon, from the patristic age
to modern liberation theologians. The product of Barth's lifelong
research and completed by Helmut Blanke, this volume will become
the standard work on Philemon.
