ABOUT THE EPISODE
Welcome to Colossians! Join the conversation as we highlight why this letter was needed and how we can benefit from its richness just as much as the first-century church reading it in Paul’s day.
Who wrote it? Some commentaries say Paul while others say Paul and Timothy. Either way, there was a partnership in Paul and Timothy working together to write and deliver God’s Word to churches in desperate need of its theological depth.
When was it written? Colossians was written during Paul’s first imprisonment around 60 AD.
Who was it written to? Paul wrote to a church he had technically never met. He served with the church’s leader–Epaphras–and wrote to encourage them while also pointing out heresy that was creeping in.
What is the main theme/purpose? The main theme can be summarized as The supremacy of Christ in all of life, including the invisible realm. Paul boldly calls out where the Colossians were turning obedience into obligation, and where their faith was void of true joy and delight in the Lord.
