| Resumo: | This paper seeks to investigate Paul’s response – based on his theological thoughts on love – on the conflicting relationship between Christian master and slave. With the aid of New Institutional Economics (NIE), two major characteristics of the relationship between a master and slave will be explained, namely objectifying and manipulating the relationship. Then, this paper will try to read Paul’s response to the conflicting relationship in the letter to Philemon – how he used different rhetoric to persuade Philemon to change his relationship with his slave in different levels, namely, theological perspective, core values and practical concern. |
