was written by Paul approximately 60 A.D.
It is about a runaway slave named Onesimus. Philemon was a
believer in Colosse. He was a slave
owner and Onesimus was one of his slaves. Onesimus stole from
Philemon and ran off.His crime was
punishable by death.During his travels,
Onesimus met Paul and became a Christian. This letter is an
appeal from Paul to Philemon, to accept Onesimus back as a fellow believer and
not as a slave. Onesimus means, one
useless who has become useful. With this very short
