God In The Open: Colossians And Philemon (New Testament Series)

Colossians is a favourite New Testament letter and was foundational to early Christian theology. The ascribed author, Apostle Paul, proclaims Christ's supremacy over the entire created universe and the author also insists that believers lead godly lives. Ron has written this book as a devotional commentary so that it may be useful to both students and teachers of the Bible. It serves a two-fold objective, to provide information that will vitalize the individual follower of Christ who is reading for the purpose of personal growth. It also provides exegetical material to anyone fashioning a lesson or a sermon. There is a creative interplay of factual information and the author's interpretation and application of the text. The book examines the theological content of the larger Pauline themes by reviewing original socio-cultural and historical contexts. A narrative style develops the first century setting of Paul's letters to Colossians and then Philemon as well, and with illustrations that reflect our times and issues Ron Unruh confirms the relevance of the teachings for us in our day.
