Episode 214: Audio Library - A Short Introduction to the Epistle of Colossians

In this episode, we continue the audiobook series of A Short Introduction to the Epistles of Paul the Apostle by W. Kelly with the chapter on Colossians.

This chapter explains how Colossians was written to guard believers against subtle doctrinal error and spiritual philosophy that threatened to displace the sufficiency and glory of Christ. Kelly emphasizes that the central theme of the epistle is the absolute supremacy of Christ — His person, His work, and His headship over the church.

While Ephesians focuses on the church’s position in Christ, Colossians directs attention to Christ Himself as the believer’s life and fullness.

In this chapter, you will hear about:

• The background and purpose of Paul’s letter to the Colossians

• The dangers of false teaching and religious philosophy

• The preeminence and sufficiency of Christ

• Practical Christian living flowing from union with Christ

This reading is part of an ongoing audiobook series covering the epistles of Paul in order. Additional chapters will be released as the series continues.
