Onesimus
by Edwin A. Abbott
This historical novel is told from the point of view of Onesimus, a first-century Christian who was the slave mentioned in the book of Philion. Enter the mind of one of the most extraordinary scholars of the late Victorian era, whose interests range from the Four Gospels to the fourth dimension. Abbott has written many books of New Testament science and a collection of textbooks, but he is best known for his Flatland, an odyssey to the world of higher mathematics.
