In this addition to the award-winning BECNT series, G. K. Beale offers a substantive evangelical commentary on Colossians and Philemon, leading readers through the sociological, historical and theological dimensions of both letters.

As with every BECNT volume, there is detailed interaction with the Greek text, extensive research, chapter-by-chapter exegesis and a design that makes the apparatus usable rather than obstructive. The series aims at academic sophistication with pastoral sensitivity, and Beale's work on the Old Testament in the New gives his treatment of Colossians particular depth.
