Onesimo nostro fratello. Religione, etnia e cultura nella lettera a Filemone

This volume demonstrates that the historical occurrence and moral issue of slavery can be considered a vital and profitable key to reading Paul’s letter to Philemon. While many scholars agree and go further, assuming a situation of slavery as the background that occasioned the letter, the authors of this collection of essays argue that this is not the only background that is plausible.
