From whatever angle one views our age, Colossians is up to date. Although written nearly 2,000 years ago, its timeless message speaks to the dilemmas facing us today.

The theme of Paul's letter to the Colossians is the complete adequacy of Christ in contrast to the emptiness of mere human philosophy---a timely message in the face of the do-it-yourself, anything-goes New Age movement.

MacArthur expounds on Paul's themes as he moves passage-by-passage through the text of Colossians and Philemon. His careful exegesis and life-changing applications---expressed in a clear style and easily understandable language---will appeal to both pastors and laypeople.
