The Book of Philemon is among the shortest books of the bible. But is it the shortest? If we are to determine length by word count alone, 3 John is the shortest (219 words), 2 John is second with 245 words, and Philemon comes in at third with 335 words. Obadiah and Jude round out the top 5, with 440 and 461 words, respectively. But the brevity of this book in no way limits its wisdom. Paul pleas to his friend on behalf of an escaped slave, which opens up questions about grace, mercy and salvation.
