Colossians & Philemon (Reformed Expository Commentaries)

Caught between Jewish legalism and pagan mystery religionsÑand evidently attracted to bothÑthe young church in Colossae was struggling. The apostle Paul's urgent letter to the congregation presents a singularly potent Christology as the cure for their confusion. In a companion letter to Philemon, a member of the church, Paul shows that embracing right doctrine leads to right relationships.
Richard D. Phillips's devotional, pastoral commentary on these two letters presents a compelling view of apostolic apologetics and connects the false teaching of the past to the teaching and beliefs that surround believers on all sides today.
