I loved Prof. Wright's insightful analogy of a time bomb. He compares Paul's take on slavery to "setting up a time bomb" against the wicked institution of slavery. I have often wondered about Paul's view on slavery because it seemed that by asking slaves to obey their earthly masters, Paul was endorsing slavery. However, as Prof Wright rightly puts it, Paul was, perhaps, re-ordering the social structures in the light of the new creation by asking Philemon to accept Onesimus as a beloved brother in the Lord. Excellent course!

New information: Onesimus = useful; written from prison in Ephesus (Duncan); 1st century slavery. Ministry of reconciliation, if only book powerful message of Christ
Material was well covered and the issues addressed were covered to my satisfaction.
