Overview

The Zondervan Biblical and Theological Lectures series provides a unique audio learning experience. Unlike a traditional audiobook's direct narration of a book's text, Philemon: Audio Lectures include high quality live-recordings of college-level lectures that cover the important points from each subject as well as relevant material from other sources.

The letter to Philemon brings a bold call for forgiveness and unity as the brotherhood of all believers. This letter, the shortest book in the Bible, speaks powerfully to us today toward issues like equality, unity, and what conversion to Christ does for us all. Christ forgave us everything and welcomed us as brothers and sisters in the Lord, now the choice of action is ours.

Philemon: Audio Lectures features scholar David E. Garland teaching through the book of Philemon in 4 engaging and challenging lessons. Together with Garland’s Colossians, Philemon in the NIV Application Commentary series, these lessons bring the meaning of this short letter into the twenty-first century. Garland comments on the text itself and explores issues in Paul’s culture and ours that help us understand the meaning and significance of each passage.
