The Letter to Philemon is one of the seven letters
that almost all biblical scholars hold were written by the apostle Paul. Having only 25 verses in its English
rendering from the 335 words in the apostle’s Greek original, Philemon is the
shortest among the Pauline writings. The
textual integrity of the letter is complete in twelve of the major uncial
manuscripts, and there is a near-total word agreement among the Greek texts of
the letter, with but few orthographical differences.
Most
commentators and I agree that Philemon reflects Paul’s spirit, theology, moral
tone, language, and style, as do 1 Thessalonians, Galatians, 1 and 2
Corinthians, Romans, and Philippians, the six other undisputed letters. Ancient Church tradition links the letter to
Paul, and the major catalogs of the New Testament canon from the early
centuries (e.g., the late 2nd century Muratorian Fragment and Bishop
Athanasius’ 39th Festal Letter to his clergy in 367 C.E., among
others) list it among Paul’s writing.
