Colossians & Philemon

Description

In commenting on Colossians, Ernest D. Martin (Mennonite Church) highlights a wholistic Christology in contrast to past and present perversions of the gospel. In the section on Philemon, he draws attention to the social implications of the koinonia of faith for the servants of Jesus Christ.

“Martin successfully shows the relationship of the biblical text to everyday experiences through his interpretive remarks, but more explicitly through carefully constructed outlines, diagrams, and sketches of the text.” -Festival Quarterly
