Unshackled - Biblical Commentary on the Book of Philemon

Rev. D. Earl Cripe, Ph.D (1934-2011) held firmly to Historic Orthodox Christian Theology that the Bible is the only guide to the faith and practice of the Church. Towards that end during his more than forty-seven years of ministry he penned numerous volumes of expository Bible commentaries. In them he takes the reader verse-by-verse through the chosen book of the Bible, explaining the original meanings and intentions along with the applications to the life of the serious believer of Christ in simple language that anyone can grasp. They are essential reading for the serious Christian looking to further their understanding of the Holy Scriptures. This volume is a verse-by-verse study of the Book of Philemon. After having runaway from his master Onesimus somehow became acquainted with St. Paul in Rome. He was converted and became a helper and a disciple. At some point in time the Apostle convinced Onesimus that he must return to his master. Letter to Philemon centers around two basic premises. One is that St. Paul is returning Onesimus to Philemon because it is the right thing to do. The other is that St. Paul is a appealing to Philemon's better angels and requesting him to set the Onesimus free. He makes his appeal based on the fact that Philemon was in bondage to sin and Christ set him free. He also makes the argument to Philemon that by freeing Onesimus as a slave he can receive them as a brother and have the best possible of relationships with him throughout the rest of their time and forever.
