Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's epistle to Philemon is one of the shortest books in the entire Bible, and it certainly leaves plenty to the imagination. From the pen of an accomplished New Testament scholar, this vivid historical fiction account follows the slave Onesimus, fleshing out the lived context of first-century Ephesus and providing a social and theological critique of slavery in the Roman Empire.

Download or read book Onesimus, the Run-Away Slave written by Ernest A. Jones SR and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2004-02-26 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main characters in this story come from the Bible. I have taken a little known man, Omnesimus, and formed a uplifting, high moral story. He is only heard of in the new testament books of Philemon and Colossions. The Apostle Paul, who wrote Philemon sent this letter to Philemon to help him show mercy to this run-away slave. This is a story that the young will enjoy! It has excitement, drama and love but without language that would offend anyone. I have gleamed information from encyclopedias and from the Internet concerning the area in which this story takes place, gaining information about the climate, agriculture and terrain of the land, trying to make the storys setting accurate while still folding a fictitious story around the main character. I have also talked to a person who has lived in the area my story takes place, and gained information here too. The first few pages start with Omnes childhood in what is now Turkey. Then as a strong, husky youth he is taken by raiders. He is treated, harshly, as a slave and for several months lives in the filthy camps of those who stole him. Here he is befriended by another slave, a lad about his own age, who tells him about the God in Heaven. This boy tells Omne that the gods of silver and wood are worthless! After many months Omne is taken away from this camp and sold as a slave to a man who treats his slaves well. This man had been visited by one of the men who help Paul and he believed in Christ too! One day while Omne is working his team of oxen in a field near the river, he rescues his masters young son from drowning. This feat he did even though he had never learned to swim and this act nearly takes the life of this helpful slave. As a reward for the valiant act Omne is given Martha, a most lovely and sweet young lady, for his wife. With the passing of time children are born into this couples home. Omne and his family are treated almost like children of the masters household. Omne is respected by his master and the other slaves whom he is now boss over. All goes well until Omnes eldest son dies and Omne cant accept his death. He grows very despondent, and blames God for his sons death. Feeling that all hope is gone he steals from his master and leaves his beloved wife and children. He tries to run away from God but in the process finds that God is ever with him even through 2 robberies and beatings that nearly kill him while traveling clear to Rome. In Rome he meets Paul, who along with Luke and several others applies soothing balm to his battered body and coaxes life back into his body once again. At last Omne is able to forget the past, accept his LORD again and full of hope and love returns to his family and to his master. Paul wrote a letter and sent it with Tychicus, one of his trusted workers, to be given to Omnes master. The two men then return to Omnes master. Though willing to forgive his slave Philemon still puts him through 90 grueling days of hard labor before once again taking him back as a trusted slave; but not really as a slave but as a son! The freedom he has longed for so much for so long is finally his!

Download or read book The First Christian Slave written by Mary Ann Beavis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The slave Onesimus is the central figure in the letter to Philemon, but he remains silent throughout the discourse. Studies of the letter focus on whether or not Onesimus was a fugitive slave, and on the question of Paul's intentions for him: did he want Philemon to accept him back as a brother in faith; did he expect Philemon to return Onesimus to him for his own use; or was Paul hinting that Philemon should manumit Onesimus? This study centers on Onesimus as an intentional convert; the first Christian slave whose name we know. Using research about early Christian slavery, slavery in the Roman world, and comparative evidence from African-American slave narratives, this study starts from the assumption that Onesimus had his own motives and aspirations in pursuing his association with Paul, and reconstructs his voice using hints within and outside the text that suggest his agency and subjectivity.

Book excerpt: Charles Haddon Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 - January 31, 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher and is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.

Download or read book Paul Among the People written by Sarah Ruden and published by Image. This book was released on 2010-02-16 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is a common—and fundamental—misconception that Paul told people how to live. Apart from forbidding certain abusive practices, he never gives any precise instructions for living. It would have violated his two main social principles: human freedom and dignity, and the need for people to love one another. Paul was a Hellenistic Jew, originally named Saul, from the tribe of Benjamin, who made a living from tent making or leatherworking. He called himself the “Apostle to the Gentiles” and was the most important of the early Christian evangelists. Paul is not easy to understand. The Greeks and Romans themselves probably misunderstood him or skimmed the surface of his arguments when he used terms such as “law” (referring to the complex system of Jewish religious law in which he himself was trained). But they did share a language—Greek—and a cosmopolitan urban culture, that of the Roman Empire. Paul considered evangelizing the Greeks and Romans to be his special mission. “For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” The idea of love as the only rule was current among Jewish thinkers of his time, but the idea of freedom being available to anyone was revolutionary. Paul, regarded by Christians as the greatest interpreter of Jesus’ mission, was the first person to explain how Christ’s life and death fit into the larger scheme of salvation, from the creation of Adam to the end of time. Preaching spiritual equality and God’s infinite love, he crusaded for the Jewish Messiah to be accepted as the friend and deliverer of all humankind. In Paul Among the People, Sarah Ruden explores the meanings of his words and shows how they might have affected readers in his own time and culture. She describes as well how his writings represented the new church as an alternative to old ways of thinking, feeling, and living. Ruden translates passages from ancient Greek and Roman literature, from Aristophanes to Seneca, setting them beside famous and controversial passages of Paul and their key modern interpretations. She writes about Augustine; about George Bernard Shaw’s misguided notion of Paul as “the eternal enemy of Women”; and about the misuse of Paul in the English Puritan Richard Baxter’s strictures against “flesh-pleasing.” Ruden makes clear that Paul’s ethics, in contrast to later distortions, were humane, open, and responsible. Paul Among the People is a remarkable work of scholarship, synthesis, and understanding; a revelation of the founder of Christianity.
