In this detailed exposition of Paul's letters to the Colossians and Philemon, noted scholar James Dunn gives you a dynamic picture of the life of the early church and, in particular, Paul's mission to the Colossians as he provides detailed expositions of the text of Paul's letters to the Colossians and to Philemon. Verse-by-verse commentary and extensive introductions that discuss authorship, dating, and structure; and an examination of the 'trouble' at Colossae show you how faith in Christ shaped a community of believers.
