An excellent exegetical and expositional resource for the study of Colossians and Philemon. The outlines in the back of the book are worth the price alone.

I strongly recommend John Kitchen s commentary on Colossians and Philemon. It is reader friendly, pastorally sensitive, and exegetically sound. Pastors and Bible teachers will find help here. --Donald L. Alexander Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies and Spiritual TheologyBethel University, St. Paul, MN

Kitchen's exposition of Colossians and Philemon is ideal for the busy pastor who loves serious Bible study. If you want to engage responsibly withthe biblical text, and yet get right to the point, Colossians and Philemon for Pastors will serve you well. It will guide you directly to the important questions to think through, with the added bonus of a practical ministry emphasis throughout. --Ray Ortlund, Renewal Ministries Franklin, TN

If you are searching for a commentary that is both exegetical and expositional in nature, this is it. Over the past year and a half I spent countless hours studying Colossians as I sought to bring my congregation faithful sermon expositions. After reading each page of this commentary, and more than twenty others, I can not emphasize enough how valuable this ministry tool is. If I could only take the sacred Text and two Colossians commentaries with me to the mission field it would be an easy choice. This volume by John Kitchen as well as P. T. O Brien s fine work are the cream of the commentary crop. --Caleb Kolstad
