"The Bible, King James version, Book 57: Philemon by Anonymous" is an ancient religious letter, from the initial period of Christianity, that grapples with forgiveness and brotherhood. Penned in the first century A.D., this New Testament writing focuses a spotlight on a personal plea from Paul to Philemon, a man who owns slaves. Paul asks that Philemon welcome back Onesimus, a former runaway, not as property, but as a fellow Christian, emphasizing love and faith. In this plea, Paul highlights the core belief of Christian teachings, and offers to cover any debts owed by Onesimus, expressing optimism that he will be freed from prison and be able to visit Philemon again.
