Focusing on Onesimus, the silent slave in the letter to Philemon, this study explores his potential role as an intentional convert and the first named Christian slave. It examines the complexities surrounding his status, questioning whether Paul intended for Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother, return him, or grant freedom. Drawing on early Christian slavery and African-American narratives, the research highlights Onesimus's agency and aspirations, reconstructing his voice through textual hints and contextual evidence.
