Description
The letter to Philemon contains much more than most people give it credit for.
* An old-time gospel preacher, in prison because the other religious folks didn't like what he was preaching.
* A runaway slave who wanted never to be found--but who later understood that he needed to humbly return to his master.
* A slave-owner who is described in glowing terms by Paul--and therefore by God Himself!
The Prodigal Slave is a 130-page commentary with the following
* A thorough introduction, including sections on (1) Slavery in the Roman Empire, (2) The Condition of Paul, (3) Who is Philemon? (4) Who is Onesimus? (5) Other Interesting Notes.
* Extensive, yet easy-to-understand notes on each verse, including personal applications.
* Three bonus sections dealing with the questions of (1) Where Did Philemon Live? (2) How did Onesimus Become a Slave? (3) What is the "Letter From Laodicea?
* Three full-length sermon outlines from the book of (1) What Are You Known For? (2) The ABC's of Conflict Resolution, (3) Intercession in Philemon.
