Designed for use by ministers, preachers, teachers, students and church leaders, the Epworth Commentaries are based on the Revised English Bible and relate the texts in their ancient settings to the needs of Christians in a multi-racial, multi-faith society.
This commentary aims to look at Colossians in its setting in the generation after St. Paul when the Christians were searching to find new vocabulary to do justice to the experience of Christ, to express his significance and to apply the insights of the apostle Paul to the changed situation.
