Colossians and Philemon have traditionally been overshadowed by
other New Testament texts thought to express Pauline theology more
clearly. In this notable commentary, however, Marianne Meye
Thompson shows how these two epistles provide a unique formulation
of the gospel in terms of creation and reconciliation rather than
justification by faith. In Colossians she finds an overarching
narrative of the Bible's grand creation-redemption story and an
important emphasis on the relationship between creation and
Christology, while her exploration of Philemon casts brighter light
on the significance of Paul's familial metaphors for the church and
the meaning of new humanity in Christ. Throughout her work on these
two epistles, Thompson continually connects her insights to
theological concerns, making this volume an excellent addition to
the Two Horizons series.
