The Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon: A Commentary on the Greek Text (New International Greek Testament Commentary)

Rating:
Summary: A brilliant book. Buy it.
Review: A very good commentary on the epistle to the Colossians and Philippians, and can be ranked alongside the one by Petr Pokorný. In Colossians one gains a valuable insight to the Christians during the first century in Asia Minor, and Dunn points out that this letter is an important stage in the development of Pauline theology. The letter to Philemon is the only personal letter in the New Testament. Dunn provides a very detailed exposition on both books, and you do not have to be a master of the Greek to read it. Like all the other volumes in the set, it is a must for anybody who wants to get a better understanding of the books of the New Testament. I strongly recommend it.
