Paul faces proto-Gnostic deviations in the Colossian church, choosing to emphasize incarnational Christology and build from there. Based on the person of Christ, Paul develops an ordered doctrine of creation and maintains an eschatological lens that keeps the focus on the Heavenly gifts to come. Dr. Deterding approaches the letter with equal parts academic and pastoral concerns, tackling everything from the scholarly history of authorship to the rich sacramental theology of baptism. The eschatology of the letter extends beyond those verses that speak of the life to come, for its message is constantly given with an eye on eternity. The true doctrine of Christ, who is the exalted Lord over the entire creation, refutes the false christologies that were circulating in Colossae, variations of which continue to compete against the true Gospel in the world today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA reconstruction of the probable Colossian heresy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArguments and evidence for undisputed Pauline authorship\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA focus on the Christology, Soteriology, and Cosmology of Colossians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditional Essays\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBaptism in the Message of Colossians\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pauline Model of Growth in Sanctification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColossian's relationship to Ephesians and Philemon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the series\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Concordia Commentary Series: A Theological Exposition of Sacred Scripture is written to enable pastors and teachers of the Word to proclaim the Gospel with greater insight, clarity, and faithfulness to the divine intent of the Biblical text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe series will cover all the canonical books of the Old and New Testament, with an original translation and meticulous grammatical analysis of the Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek of each text.
