Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Philemon

"Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Philemon" by Richard Francis Weymouth is a religious text that presents a fresh, accessible translation of a letter from the New Testament, emphasizing themes of forgiveness and reconciliation within early Christian communities. The book recounts how the Apostle Paul, imprisoned far from his brothers, advocates for Onesimus, a former runaway slave, urging Philemon, a leader in the church as well as Onesimus' master, to welcome him back not as property, but as a brother transformed by faith. It is a narrative centered on the Apostle's expression of Christian love and brotherhood, appealing to Philemon's known kindness and trust in the transformative power of shared belief.
