Colossians Reading

Posted on September 16, 2008

Here is the recommended book list for Colossians from Sunday.

  • Sam Storms, The Hope of Glory – a hundred devotional readings through Paul’s letter to the Colossians.
  • Bartholomew/Goheen, The Drama of Scripture – a good introduction to the grand story of Scripture, helping us to read the Bible as a whole story that hangs together, not in bits and pieces.

Moo's New Colossians Commentary

Posted on August 27, 2008

I’ve been eagerly anticipating Moo’s new commentary on Colossians and Philemon. For my Th.M thesis I wrote about 150 pages on this letter, which has profoundly shaped my theology, ministry, and everyday life. I did email briefly with Moo about getting him to review my thesis for the commentary, but alas, the manuscript was already dedicated. I am moving towards publishing an article on my research, and will be eager to see how much I line up with Moo. His Romans commentary is among the best single volumes on that letter.

Anyway, I called Eerdmans yesterday and got a copy shipped within 24 hours of the book being published, fresh off the press. Amazon doesnt even have it yet! Excited to take and read; I’ll be preaching through Colossians this Fall.
