Colossians and Philemon
by John F. MacArthur
These study guides, part of a set from noted Bible scholar John MacArthur, take readers on
a journey through biblical texts to discover what lies beneath the surface, focusing on
meaning and context, and then reflecting on the explored passage or concept. With probing
questions that guide the reader toward application, as well as ample space for journaling,
The MacArthur Bible Studies are invaluable tools for Bible students of all ages.
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.
