In \u003cb\u003eOnesimus Our Brother, \u003c\/b\u003eleading African American biblical scholars tease out the often unconscious assumptions about religion, race, and culture that permeate contemporary interpretation of the New Testament and of Paul in particular. The editors argue that Philemon is as important a letter from an African American perspective as Romans or Galatians have proven to be in Eurocentric interpretation. The essays gathered here continue to trouble scholarly waters, interacting with the legacies of Hegel, Freud, Habermas, Ricoeur, and James C. Scott, as well as the historical experience of African American communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include the editors and Mitzi J. Smith, Margaret B. Wilkerson, James W.
