The epistle of Paul to the Colossian church was primarily intended to
answer the heresies of that day, but, as Dr. Harrison points out,
"in the process of meeting error, the apostle was led to give us
deep insights into the person and work of our Savior. "Dr. Harrison
considers historical setting and authorship, then, following the
progression of the epistle, moves on to examine Christ in creation and
redemption, and the ministry of Paul and the Colossian church,
contrasting the poison of false teaching with positive fruits of living
in Christ.
