Discovering Christianity: Paul's Letter To The Colossians: Extols The Person Of Jesus The Christ In Letter

The Epistle of Paul to the Colossians is the twelfth book of the New Testament. It was written, according to the text, by Paul the Apostle and Timothy, and addressed to the Church in Colossae, a small Phrygian city near Laodicea and approximately 100 miles (160 km) from Ephesus in Asia Minor.

So what's so great about Christianity? Overwhelmed with such questions from ancient Greek philosophers and religions, a young, local pastor seeks help from his mentor, the Apostle Paul. In response, Paul dictates a letter to the Colossians in which he extols the Person of Jesus the Christ and unique elements of Christianity. This study examines his response.
