Talk:Epistle to Philemon

Authorship
Just because Timothy is mentioned in the greeting does not make him a co-author of the letter. Nothing in the text even hints that he consulted Timothy concerning the problem at hand.

While I am at it, do we have to keep reminding readers that the books of the bible are inspired by God by mentioning God as the primary "author"? The home page, along with an article on the inspiration of Scripture should surfice. Providing God as the "author" of the book leaves the impression that He dictated the content, which is clearly not the intent. I know this is a sensitive point, but an improper view of the doctrine of inspiration destracts from the very human circumstances addressed by the author(s) of a book.
