- Abstract: Paul's letter to Philemon is curiously opaque with regard to Paul's intentions. This article argues that when one assesses his rhetorical strategy in terms of game theory, it becomes clearer that Paul is trying to achieve Onesimus' freedom by offering Philemon the opportunity to coopererate rather than confronting him with a demand, which would be viewed negatively in terms of ancient codes of honour. Further, Paul employs familial vocabulary in an attempt to deconstruct ancient society's hierarchies of obligation and to reconstruct them around a new understanding of the church as a family, which necessarily delegitimises the institution of slavery within the church.

- Abstract: La lettre de Paul à Philémon paraît curieusement opaque quant aux intentions de l'apôtre. Joel White vise à montrer que, lorsqu'on analyse la stratégie rhétorique de Paul selon la théorie du jeu, il devient clair que l'apôtre tente d'obtenir l'affranchissement d'Onésime en offrant à Philémon la possibilité d'y coopérer, plutôt que de lui présenter une demande qui serait perçue négativement selon les anciens codes de l'honneur. En outre, Paul emploie un vocabulaire familial pour tenter de déconstruire les hiérarchies du devoir dans la société ancienne et pour les reconstruire à partir d'une nouvelle compréhension de l'Église comme une famille, ce qui conduit nécessairement à rendre l'institution de l'esclavage illégitime au sein de l'Église.

- Abstract: Der Brief des Paulus an Philemon bleibt fremd unkar über die Absichten von Paulus. Der vorliegende Artikel vertritt die Ansicht, dass eine Bewertung der rhetorischen Strategie von Paulus im Sinne der Spieltheorie verdeutlicht, dass jener versucht, die Freiheit für Onesimus zu erwirken. Dies tut Paulus, indem er Philemon die Gelegenheit bietet mit zu wirken, anstatt ihn mit einer Forderung zu konfrontieren, die im Sinne des altertümlichen Ehrenkodex als negativ angesehen würde. Des Weiteren verwendet Paulus das Vokabular familiärer Beziehungen bei dem Versuch, die Hierarchien von Verpflichtungen in der Gesellschaft der Antike abzubauen und sie anhand eines neuen Verständnisses von Gemeinde als Familie wieder aufzubauen. Dieser neue Ansatz erklärt notwendigerweise die Einrichtung der Sklaverei innerhalb der Gemeinde für unrechtmäßig. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
