From my latest blog post: "In Jesus and the Disinherited, Howard Thurman tells a story about his grandmother, who'd been a slave in the American South. She'd have her grandson read aloud to her from the Bible, but never from the Epistles." https://bit.ly/3z8Viq4

Apostle Paul’s letter to Philemon seems to support slavery: it accompanied a 1st-century runaway slave sent back to his master. Dramatic #HF rereads the letter as a request for freedom. When the slave is captured and sent back, Paul’s letter is his only hope. #PitMad #A #LF #CF

Esi Edugyan’s Washington Black meets Anita Diamant’s The Red Tent. Risking crucifixion, 1st-century slave flees his violent master. When captured and sent back, a letter from Apostle Paul is his only hope. Dramatic backstory to New Testament letter Philemon #PitMad #A #HF #LF #CF
