Gehört zur ReiheBrazos Theological Commentary on the Bible (Colossians)
The Brazos Theological Commentary on the Bible advances the assumption that the Nicene creedal tradition, in all its diversity, provides the proper basis for the interpretation of the Bible as Christian scripture. The series encourages readers to extend the vital roots of the ancient Christian tradition to our day. In this addition to the acclaimed series, renowned scholar Christopher Seitz offers a theological exegesis of Colossians, bringing his expertise in canonical reading to bear on his interpretation of this Pauline letter. As with other volumes in the series, the book is ideal for those called to ministry. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

The author does well at remaining within the confines of the Brazos Theological Commentary paradigm and does not seem to mind them at all. He begins with a defense for a canonical reading of Colossians and makes much of its canonical placement. He defends Pauline authorship of the letter well, pointing out the specificity of the people mentioned towards the end of the letter and frames it as the mature reflections of Paul to a congregation who has never met him and never will.
Most of the commentary maintains the continuity of how the text has been understood generally. He believes that what we deem as Ephesians is also the substance of the letter to the Laodiceans; he suggests that the "opponents" of Colossians 2 are not necessarily immediately persons within or influencing the congregation there but are representative of the types of dangers around which might influence the Colossian Christians at any time.
A solid commentary, although the author seems to see DNA everywhere. Worth consideration.
