Markus Barth and Helmut Blanke - Colossians (the Anchor Bible, Vol. 34b)

New York, Doubleday, 1994. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Red cloth with red pictorial dustjacket. xix, 557p. New. The Apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians offers a valuable and intimate glimpse into the life of a fledgling Christian community as it struggled to define Christian doctrine and theology. In their astute and lucid commentary, authors re-create the turbulent age of the birth of Christianity and examine the myriad of "outside" influences -- from rational Hellenistic philosophy to exclusive, ethereal Gnostic thought -- that often threatened the evolution of Christian theology. Colossians not only provides a new and carefully balanced analysis of this pivotal New Testament text, but also chronicles the development of Christian thought as it gradually spread throughout the Roman Empire. .
