Barclay introduces and evaluates the critical issues surrounding Colossians and Philemon. Since Colossians lies at the centre of debates concerning Pauline and Deutero-Pauline Christianity, this Guide clarifies the arguments concerning the authorship of the letter and assesses our chances of reconstructing the strain of Christianity that it targets. It also introduces the scholarly debates concerning the Colossian 'hymn' (1.15-20) and 'household code' (3.18-4.1), while providing an analysis of the theological coherence of the letter. Regarding Philemon, Barclay explores the likely story behind the letter, analyses Paul's strategy and assesses the immediate and long-term effects of this fascinating but disturbing letter.
