Not a slave but a brother: an African American reading of Paul'S letter to Philemon

---

Paul writes this letter to challenge Philemon to deepen his understanding of koinonia and open him to new opportunities for fellowship and relationship.For over a thousand years, the letter to Philemon has been interpreted as Paul sending a pilfering slave back to his good Christian master with hopes that he will now be treated as a brother. This interpretation is a critical part of the church's support of slavery in America during the eighteenth and nineteenth century.
