Here we have a charming intimate letter written by Paul to a dear friend. Philemon's slave Onesimus... had run away from him and come under Paul's influence in Rome. He not only became a Christian but became very dear to Paul.

- From the introduction

"Paul is concerned first to establish in his readers' minds as great and wide and deep a conception of Christ as he can. He points out that he is not only the Saviour of the world, but also the divinely appointed focal point of all activity and all knowledge, whether it is physical, mental or spiritual".
