After more than forty years as a physician, Dr. David Silver devoted his retirement to helping ordinary Christians understand and apply God's Word. Drawing from decades of Bible teaching, knowledge of the biblical languages, and extensive study of trusted theological resources, he creates practical guides that emphasize faithful interpretation and everyday application.
Still Have Questions?
The name 'Onesimus' actually means 'useful' or 'profitable.' Paul uses this as a clever wordplay in his letter, noting that while Onesimus was once 'useless' to Philemon, he has now become 'useful' both to Philemon and to Paul.
Paul was writing from a Roman prison around 60-61 A.D. Despite his own confinement, he was actively involved in ministry and the reconciliation of others.
