About this book
How should Christians respond when a variety of unbiblical philosophies and extra-biblical religious practices begin to work their way into the life of the church? This is what the apostle Paul was facing when he wrote his letter to the Colossians. In significant ways, it is also what the evangelical church is facing today. Colossians is an important book for our times. It is also one of the most ‘Christ-centred’ books in the Bible with a central theme of the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ. The Christ-centred, Christ-exalting life that Paul in Colossians calls us to live is the only way we can fully please God and enjoy his pleasure and presence. The EP Study Commentary series is designed for ministers, theologians and serious students of the Bible. With John D. Currid as the series editor, EPSCs balance biblical scholarism with straightforward application, making them the ideal companion for pastors and Bible teachers.
