Overview

Paul’s letters to the Colossians and Philemon are both brief, but full of theological riches. In the letter to the Colossians, he points us to the sufficiency of Christ for all our needs and shows how us how we must reflect Christ’s character in all our relationships. In Philemon, we see the difference the gospel makes in the delicate context of Onesimus’ departure from Philemon’s love.

In this comprehensive introduction and commentary to both letters, Alan Thompson explores how these letters still have much to teach Christians in the twenty-first century. With astute understanding, he shows how Colossians and Philemon unpack and apply the beauty of the gospel of God’s grace and Christ’s supremacy.

A new volume in the Tyndale New Testament commentary series, Colossians and Philemon: An Introduction and Commentary examines the text section-by-section–exploring the context in which it was written, providing thoughtful commentary on the letters to the Colossians and to Philemon, and then unpacking their theology. It will leave you with a thorough understanding of the content and structure of Paul’s writing, as well as its meaning and continued relevance for Christians today.

The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries are ideal bible commentaries for students and teachers of theology, as well as being usable for preachers and individual Christians looking to delve deeper into the riches of Scripture and discover its meaning for today.

With clarity and comprehensiveness, Alan Thompson’s commentary on Colossians and Philemon is a brilliant introduction that will give you a renewed appreciation for these two significant letters and a greater understanding of how Christians today can learn from them.

Thompson has written a reliable introductory commentary and I commend it as such. And in so doing, Thompson has perhaps given us the greatest gift of all, an insight that sparks further reflection on the text. Hopefully future scholars will follow his cue and explore the mutually-interpreting relationship between these two letters.

    I am privileged to have been able to sit in Alan's classes at the Sydney Missionary & Bible College and wholly recommend this book. Alan's commentary sheds light on Colossians and Philemon in his distinctive clear and accessible writing style. A must have if you intend to preach on these books!

    Alan Thompson’s commentary on Colossians will be a rich blessing to the church! It is academically rigorous, wonderfully accessible, deeply thoughtful, spiritually encouraging and eminently practical. He clearly shows how the Apostle Paul’s emphasis on the supremacy and sufficiency of Christ traces its way throughout the argument of the letter and how it ought to be equally prominent for us in what we believe, in the gospel we proclaim, and in the lives we live as followers of Jesus.
