This guide explores and summarizes scholarship on Philemon,
acquainting beginning students with what has been said about
Philemon, and equipping them to understand the larger debates and
conversations that surround it. It explores how different initial
scholarly assumptions result in different interpretations and
"meanings;" these meanings always have ethical implications.
Reading Philemon challenges us to rethink the process of commentary
and the communities interpretation creates. Though only one chapter
long, Paul's Letter to Philemon has generated a remarkable amount
of commentary and scholarship over the centuries, figuring in
debates over textual reconstruction, the formation of biblical
canon, the culture of ancient Rome, Greek language and its
translation, and the role of the Bible in Western politics and
economics. The focus of this short letter is labor, love and
captivity. Tradition since Chrysostom has argued the letter is an
appeal to Philemon on behalf of a fugitive slave Onesimus, now a
convert to Christianity. Yet this interpretation depends upon
several assumptions and reconstructions. Other equally plausible
contexts could be -- and have been -- argued.
