Trade ReviewThis book is a graduate student's dream, a professor's treasure, and an inquiring lay person's priceless guide for study and reflection. By any measure this is the best up-to-date summary of Colossians scholarship available. It is comprehensive, clear, stylistically graceful, balanced, expansive, suggestive and provocative. The extensive bibliography that is appended is alone worth the price of the book. Five stars. * Calvin J. Roetzel, University of Minnesota, USA *
Significant breakthroughs in research about Colossae and in the interpretation of the Letter to the Colossians have been made in the last three decades.
