The Empty Prison Cell: The Authenticity of Philemon Reconsidered

By Chris M. Hansen

Despite having enjoyed almost universal assent by scholars up till now, Chris Hansen swims into practically uncharted waters to show that one of the most overlooked and inconspicuous New Testament writings may, in fact, be a forgery. In the first English language book to ever cover the subject of Philemon's authenticity, Hansen provides a detailed historiographical overview of the problem, and raises challenging questions regarding the literary contents, themes, style, and intertextual relationships in Philemon. Hansen's research and surprising conclusions will certainly be of interest to those unfamiliar with Philemon's questionable history.
