Bible Commentaries

The Book of Daniel begins with the trials of the Judahites in the aftermath of Jerusalem's destruction by the Babylonians in 587 BC, when many were forced to live as immigrants in a strange land. The twelve shorter prophets are situated between the eighth and fifth centuries and speak both warnings and instructions to God's people.

Alan J. Thompson offers a comprehensive introduction to Paul's New Testament letters to the Colossians and to Philemon in this new volume in the Tyndale New Testament Commentary series.

Colossians was a letter, which would have first been read by Tychicus in Philemon's house in Colossae. By reading it they are about to understand better the reality of a life in Christ.
