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.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51565133693215,"sku":"9780802827456","price":74.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780802827456_1534183.jpg?v=1769219611"},{"product_id":"the-letter-to-philemon-new-international-commentary-on-the-new-testament-series-486093","title":"The Letter to Philemon (New International Commentary On The New Testament Series)","description":"In this first for the NICNT series, the epistle to Philemon is the subject of a stand-alone commentary, instead of the typical grouping with other epistles. Scot McKnight addresses the issue of slavery raised in this controversial letter, helping pastors and scholars to see it in a fresh way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePaul's letter to Philemon carries a strong message of breaking down social barriers and establishing new realities of conduct and fellowship. It is also a disturbing text that has been used to justify slavery. Though brief, Philemon requires close scrutiny.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e In this commentary Scot McKnight offers careful textual analysis of Philemon and brings the practice of modern slavery into conversation with the ancient text. Too often, McKnight says, studies of this short letter gloss over the issue of slavery-an issue that must be recognized and dealt with if Christians are to read Philemon faithfully. Pastors and scholars will find in this volume the insight they need to preach and teach this controversial book in meaningful new ways.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51565218365727,"sku":"9780802873828","price":39.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780802873828_1346333.jpg?v=1769222786"}],"url":"https:\/\/koorong.com\/collections\/academic-commentaries-new-testament-philemon.oembed","provider":"Koorong","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
