Abstract

By traditional biblical methods (Historical-Critical and Literary Critic) already studied the Letter to Philemon, deepening the protagonist Paul within the modes of production Roman slave. With this current article enjoyed by the Sociological Method by Model Conflictual/Contradiction, the proposal is to look the same Letter to Philemon, from someone who was silenced in the original text. As this type of Reading aims to detect asymmetries, looking at the text with "suspicion" and give voice and space to those in the "margin", the protagonist becomes the one who was under the Roman pyramid: Onesimus the slave. The hypothesis of this article is that, in prison, the slave Onesimus became the state of passivity to become a questioning of Paul's practice. The Apostle then the rawness of jail, he felt touched. His practice now materialized in the fight for freedom of the slave. Onesimus would have made Paul's conversion. With this reading, we find Jesus Christ in the flesh of the slave.
