Opens with a case study on the use of the Letter to Philemon in the debates surrounding slavery and fugitive slaves in antebellum America. The book then analyses the major background stories that have been used as keys to interpret the letter, showing that oppressive uses of the letter are due not to the letter's contents but to erroneous readings.
