Listen "Ancient Household Models Elucidate Philemon"
Episode Synopsis
Paul's letter to his Roman colleague, Philemon, delicately balances Roman expectations for enslaved people, their masters, and the new egalitarian ideas in the Christ communities. Learning the lifestyle of ancient Rome in families and households, listeners are invited to imagine what Onesimus, Paul's enslaved friend, must have felt when Paul's letter was read aloud to his master, Philemon. The tension concerning the authority over a runaway slave is palpable, but not spoken.
