Brace yourself for a riveting journey into the world of 'How amazing is ‘amazing grace’? A radical re-reading of Philemon from an African perspective' authored by Benson O. Igboin. Our newest article is packed with engaging content you won't want to miss 30 April 2024! Contribution excerpt: 'The article argued that Paul was not radical enough in the appropriation of his apostolic grace that formed the fulcrum of his appeal to Philemon to receive Onesimus back into an enhanced slave status – this time in Christ. Rather, the article suggests that Paul would have used that leverage to untangle the identity, socio-political, and relational fissures embedded in slavery, which have been used as theological excuse to deal with Africans as slaves, by not returning Onesimus to Philemon in accordance with Deuteronomy 23:15–16.'
