Amidst the recent surge in Colossians commentaries (e.g. McL. Wilson, Still, MacDonald, Thompson, Witherington, Talbert, Moo, and forthcoming from Beale and Bird), Sumney has written an intermediate-level commentary that is a helpful guide to the argument of the letter and well worth consulting in a study of this magnificent epistle. Belongs to Publisher SeriesNew Testament Library (Commentary 12)
"The letter to the Colossians offers great insight into the faith, life, and problems of an early Christian church. Aware of the differences as well as the similarities between Colossians and other Pauline letters, Jerry Sumney shows how the church struggled with expressing its new faith in the diverse settings of the Greco-Roman world. Paying special attention to the ways of forgiveness and salvation through the power of Christ, this fine commentary offers compelling new insights into Colossians' expansive Christology and expectant eschatology."--Jacket.
