The Letter to the Colossians: In Christ Alone

The Letter to the Colossians: In Christ Alone by John Houghton was published by CWR Publishing in September 2006 and is our 3601st best seller. The ISBN for The Letter to the Colossians: In Christ Alone is 9781853454059.

The world of the Colossians was surprisingly like ours: many there turned to pagan mystery religions while many today are caught up in the New Age movement. Then, as now, adequacy, completeness and salvation are found in Christ alone.

This is an exciting study to help Christians grasp the immense riches inherited through faith in Christ. In a society of 'pick and mix' spirituality, the centrality of Christ, His supremacy and His constant creative presence in the world cannot be overstated. Readers will be inspired as they ponder these eternal characteristics and realise that Christ is indeed 'the hope of glory'.

The study is spread over 7 weeks and looks at the topics


The Apostolic Heart
Firstborn Glory
The Mystery Uncovered
True and False Spirituality
Old Man New Man
Spiritual Conduct
Friends in the Faith


Each weeks study contains an icebreaker, Bible readings, key verses, study focus, discussion questions and personal application.

There is also a section of Leaders notes to aid anyone running this as a course study.
