The main characters in this story come from the Bible. I have taken a little known man, Omnesimus, and formed a uplifting, high moral story. He is only heard of in the new testament books of Philemon and Colossions. The Apostle Paul, who wrote Philemon sent this letter to Philemon to help him show mercy to this run-away slave. This is a story that the young will enjoy! It has excitement, drama and love but without language that would offend anyone. I have gleamed information from encyclopedias and from the Internet concerning the area in which this story takes place, gaining information about the climate, agriculture and terrain of the land, trying to make the storys setting accurate while still folding a fictitious story around the main character. I have also talked to a person who has lived in the area my story takes place, and gained information here too. The first few pages start with Omnes childhood in what is now Turkey. Then as a strong, husky youth he is taken by raiders. He is treated, harshly, as a slave and for several months lives in the filthy camps of those who stole him. Here he is befriended by another slave, a lad about his own age, who tells him about the God in Heaven. This boy tells Omne that the gods of silver and wood are worthless! After many months Omne is taken away from this camp and sold as a slave to a man who treats his slaves well. This man had been visited by one of the men who help Paul and he believed in Christ too! One day while Omne is working his team of oxen in a field near the river, he rescues his masters young son from drowning. This feat he did even though he had never learned to swim and this act nearly takes the life of this helpful slave. As a reward for the valiant act Omne is given Martha, a most lovely and sweet young lady, for his wife. With the passing of time children are born into this couples home. Omne and his family are treated almost like children of the masters household. Omne is respected by his master and the other slaves whom he is now boss over. All goes well until Omnes eldest son dies and Omne cant accept his death. He grows very despondent, and blames God for his sons death. Feeling that all hope is gone he steals from his master and leaves his beloved wife and children. He tries to run away from God but in the process finds that God is ever with him even through 2 robberies and beatings that nearly kill him while traveling clear to Rome. In Rome he meets Paul, who along with Luke and several others applies soothing balm to his battered body and coaxes life back into his body once again. At last Omne is able to forget the past, accept his LORD again and full of hope and love returns to his family and to his master. Paul wrote a letter and sent it with Tychicus, one of his trusted workers, to be given to Omnes master. The two men then return to Omnes master. Though willing to forgive his slave Philemon still puts him through 90 grueling days of hard labor before once again taking him back as a trusted slave; but not really as a slave but as a son! The freedom he has longed for so much for so long is finally his!

"I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me." These words, written by the apostle Paul to a first-century Christian named Philemon, are tantalizingly brief. Indeed, Paul's epistle to Philemon is one of the shortest books in the entire Bible. While it's direct enough in its way, it certainly leaves plenty to the imagination. A Week in the Life of a Slave is a vivid imagining of that story. From the pen of an accomplished New Testament scholar, the narrative follows the slave Onesimus from his arrival in Ephesus, where the apostle Paul is imprisoned, and fleshes out the lived context of that time and place, supplemented by numerous sidebars and historical images. John Byron's historical fiction is at once a social and theological critique of slavery in the Roman Empire and a gripping adventure story, set against the exotic backdrop of first-century Ephesus.

The slave Onesimus is the central figure in the letter to Philemon, but he remains silent throughout the discourse. Studies of the letter focus on whether or not Onesimus was a fugitive slave, and on the question of Paul's intentions for him: did he want Philemon to accept him back as a brother in faith; did he expect Philemon to return Onesimus to him for his own use; or was Paul hinting that Philemon should manumit Onesimus? This study centers on Onesimus as an intentional convert; the first Christian slave whose name we know. Using research about early Christian slavery, slavery in the Roman world, and comparative evidence from African-American slave narratives, this study starts from the assumption that Onesimus had his own motives and aspirations in pursuing his association with Paul, and reconstructs his voice using hints within and outside the text that suggest his agency and subjectivity.

"Draws on Positioning Theory to offer a fresh reading of Philemon and challenge traditional interpretations that argue for a pro-slavery perspective in the letter"--

In this study, Alex Hon Ho Ip argues that when Paul wrote to Philemon about Onesimus, his main purpose was not to try and reunite, as is widely held, a runaway slave with his master, but rather to have Onesimus accepted as a beloved brother in Christ. By examining the letter's inner texture, the author shows that Paul's main concern was for Philemon and Onesimus to be reconciled in brotherly love. The inter-textual weave reveals Paul's theological and ethical thoughts on love, which is the basis for the apostle's main argument. By taking a new institutional economics approach to help reconstruct the economic relationship between slave and master, Alex Hon Ho Ip is able to offer a better understanding of the original relationship Paul argued against. With all this in mind, the focus is on re-reading the letter and hearing how Paul's rhetoric exhorts a new relationship between Onesimus and Philemon.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 - January 31, 1892) was an English Particular Baptist preacher and is known as the "Prince of Preachers". He was a strong figure in the Reformed Baptist tradition, defending the Church in agreement with the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith understanding, and opposing the liberal and pragmatic theological tendencies in the Church of his day. Spurgeon was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, commentaries, books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Spurgeon produced powerful sermons of penetrating thought and precise exposition. His oratory skills held his listeners spellbound in the Metropolitan Tabernacle and many Christians hold his writings in exceptionally high regard among devotional literature.

The Slave Bible was published in 1807. It was commissioned on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves in England. The Bible was to be used by missionaries and slave owners to teach slaves about the Christian faith and to evangelize slaves. The Bible was used to teach some slaves to read, but the goal first and foremost was to tend to the spiritual needs of the slaves in the way the missionaries and slave owners saw fit.
