Paul's Epistle to the Colossians merits detailed study for at least
two reasons. First, it provides an unexpectedly interesting window
into the character of Christianity in Asia Minor in the second half
of the first century. With the information it gives about the
religious tensions within which emergent Christianity was caught
up, not least those between Christianity and diaspora Judaism, we
begin to gain more insight into the influences and factors that
shaped the transition from apostolic to subapostolic Christianity
in the region. Second, Colossians represents a crucial stage in the
development of Pauline theology itself. Whether it was written at
the end of Paul's life or soon after his death, it indicates how
Pauline theology retained its own vital character and did not die
with Paul. In this volume in the celebrated New International Greek
Testament Commentary, James D. G. Dunn, author of numerous
well-received works on the historical origin and theological
interpretation of the New Testament, provides detailed expositions
of the text of Paul's letters to the Colossians and to Philemon.
Dunn examines each of these letters within the context of the
Jewish and Hellenistic cultures in the first century, and discusses
the place of Colossians and Philemon in the relationship between
the Pauline mission and the early churches that received these
letters. Particular stress is also placed on the role of faith in
Jesus Christ within and over against Judaism and on the counsel of
these two important letters with regard to the shaping of human
relationships in the community of faith.
