Tonight we'll be studying the book of Philemon in our ride through the Bible backwards. One of the major challenges that Philemon raises is that of slavery. Nowhere in the book does Paul condemn the institution of slavery even though the two main characters in the book are a runaway slave and the master. The New Testament itself seems silent on the issue. I have recently commented on some words from John MacArthur in his book, The Freedom and Power of Forgiveness, where he briefly deals with the issue. To read that post, click here.
