Philemon was a prominent Christian, probably a member of the church at
Colossae and the owner of a slave named Onesimus. This slave had run
away from his master, and then somehow he had come in contact with Paul,
who was then in prison. Through Paul, Onesimus became a Christian. Paul's
Letter to Philemon is an appeal to Philemon to be reconciled to his slave,
whom Paul is sending back to him, and to welcome him not only as a forgiven
slave but as a Christian brother.
