Summary: "Onesimus: Memoirs of a Disciple of St. Paul" by Edwin Abbott Abbott is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is presented as the memoir of Onesimus, a young slave who finds himself entangled in the early Christian community and the teachings of St. Paul. The story explores themes of faith, freedom, and the transformation of one's beliefs against the backdrop of the ancient world, as Onesimus navigates the trials of his life as a slave and a believer. The opening of the narrative introduces Onesimus and his twin brother Chrestus as they are abandoned as infants and taken in by a kindly foster mother in Lystra. Their idyllic childhood is upended by tragedy when their patron dies, leaving them subject to a cruel new master, Nicander. The brothers are separated, and Onesimus is sold into slavery, leading to a profound exploration of identity and spirituality as he encounters the teachings of St. Paul. Throughout the beginning, Onesimus’s reflections on love, trust, and the nature of God set the stage for a deeper investigation of faith as he struggles to find his place in a world filled with uncertainty and despair.
