Colossians and Philemon have traditionally been overshadowed by Ephesians and Philippians, which are thought to more clearly express undisputedly Pauline theology. But, in this new commentary - the second "Two Horizons" volume to be published - Marianne Meye Thompson values the unique Colossian formulation of the gospel in terms of creation and reconciliation rather than justification by faith. While Thompson accepts Paul as the author of "Colossians and Philemon", she does not gloss over their distinctiveness from his other epistles.
Marianne Meye Thompson is professor of New Testament interpretation at Fuller Theological Seminary, Pasadena, California. Her previous books include commentaries on the Gospel of John and the Johannine epistles.
Journal for the Study of the New Testament "Exceptionally fine work on both Colossians and Philemon, combining both detailed exegesis and illuminating theological reflection on the text. . . This impressive volume makes an excellent contribution to understanding both these Pauline letters." Journal of the Evangelical Theological Society "[Thompson] stirs up a fresh cauldron of spell-binding theological thoughts for today's readers. . . An excellent work well suited for students, pastors, and other Christian leaders." Markus Bockmuehl -- Cambridge University "Marianne Meye Thompson's major new work on Colossians and Philemon bears all the hallmarks of her Johannine theological acumen, bringing the epistles' spiritual dynamism to life with her characteristic combination of learning and lightness of touch. This is an exemplary Two Horizons commentary. . . An impressive, timely contribution to the interpretation of these two New Testament letters."
