Download or read book Onesimus written by Markus McDowell and published by Riversong Books. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "¿based on a true story, Onesimus is a Roman slave who is willing to do questionable acts for freedom of body and soul. But he finds himself on a journey that will test his courage, challenge his view of society, and force him to decide what 'freedom' really means." (Jon Sparks, Historical Fiction Review)Let's go back to the Roman Empire of the First Century¿¿and watch through the eyes of a young, unhappy slave named Onesimus (which means "useful"). He finds himself in a predicament that will lead to torture and perhaps death. The world of the Roman Empire is a highly structured society of deities, slaves, masters, prostitutes, government corruption, soldiers-and a young new religion based on the Jewish faith. Onesimus doesn't know much about it, except that it is quite strange and should probably be illegal.It's a very different world than ours, but the struggles of this young slave are not so different: finding peace, love, purpose, and integrity in a world that seems to care about none of those things.

Book Synopsis Colossians and Philemon by : Marianne Meye Thompson
Download or read book Colossians and Philemon written by Marianne Meye Thompson and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-02 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colossians and Philemon have traditionally been overshadowed by other New Testament texts thought to express Pauline theology more clearly. In this notable commentary, however, Marianne Meye Thompson shows how these two epistles provide a unique formulation of the gospel in terms of creation and reconciliation rather than justification by faith. In Colossians she finds an overarching narrative of the Bible's grand creation-redemption story and an important emphasis on the relationship between creation and Christology, while her exploration of Philemon casts brighter light on the significance of Paul's familial metaphors for the church and the meaning of new humanity in Christ. Throughout her work on these two epistles, Thompson continually connects her insights to theological concerns, making this volume an excellent addition to the Two Horizons series.

Book Synopsis A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation of the Letter to Philemon in Light of the New Institutional Economics by : Alex Hon Ho Ip
Download or read book A Socio-Rhetorical Interpretation of the Letter to Philemon in Light of the New Institutional Economics written by Alex Hon Ho Ip and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Alex Hon Ho Ip argues that when Paul wrote to Philemon about Onesimus, his main purpose was not to try and reunite, as is widely held, a runaway slave with his master, but rather to have Onesimus accepted as a beloved brother in Christ. By examining the letter's inner texture, the author shows that Paul's main concern was for Philemon and Onesimus to be reconciled in brotherly love. The inter-textual weave reveals Paul's theological and ethical thoughts on love, which is the basis for the apostle's main argument. By taking a new institutional economics approach to help reconstruct the economic relationship between slave and master, Alex Hon Ho Ip is able to offer a better understanding of the original relationship Paul argued against. With all this in mind, the focus is on re-reading the letter and hearing how Paul's rhetoric exhorts a new relationship between Onesimus and Philemon.

Book Synopsis Theatrical Theology by : Wesley Vander Lugt
Download or read book Theatrical Theology written by Wesley Vander Lugt and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology is inherently theatrical, rooted in God's performance on the world stage and oriented toward faith seeking performative understanding in the theatre of everyday life. Following Hans Urs von Balthasar's magisterial, five-volume Theo-Drama, a growing number of theologians and pastors have been engaging more widely with theatre and drama, producing what has been recognized as a "theatrical turn" in theology. This volume includes thirteen essays from theologians and pastors who have contributed in distinct ways to this theatrical turn and who desire to deepen interdisciplinary dialogue between theology and theatre. The result is an unprecedented collection of essays that embodies and advances theatrical theology for the purpose of enriching theological reflection and edifying the church.
Book Synopsis A Week in the Life of a Slave by : John Byron
Download or read book A Week in the Life of a Slave written by John Byron and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me." These words, written by the apostle Paul to a first-century Christian named Philemon, are tantalizingly brief. Indeed, Paul's epistle to Philemon is one of the shortest books in the entire Bible. While it's direct enough in its way, it certainly leaves plenty to the imagination. A Week in the Life of a Slave is a vivid imagining of that story. From the pen of an accomplished New Testament scholar, the narrative follows the slave Onesimus from his arrival in Ephesus, where the apostle Paul is imprisoned, and fleshes out the lived context of that time and place, supplemented by numerous sidebars and historical images. John Byron's historical fiction is at once a social and theological critique of slavery in the Roman Empire and a gripping adventure story, set against the exotic backdrop of first-century Ephesus.
