Description

The Message of Colossians and Philemon: Fullness and Freedom Dick Lucas explores two fundamental aspects of Christian life: fullness and freedom. In his letter to the Christians at Colossae, Paul addressed concerns about a fuller experience than 'mere Christianity' could offer. However, Paul insisted that all God's fullness is in Christ alone, and only through his complete work are we set free. Paul's letter to Philemon, written to an individual friend and convert, also offers valuable insights into the relationship between the gospel of Christ and social concerns. Lucas examines these themes in depth, highlighting the great objective truths of the faith that enable us to see both the riches that are ours in Christ and the irrelevance of all would-be improvements on what God has done. This book provides a thoughtful exploration of fullness and freedom in Christian life, applying the gospel's principles to complex situations like Onesimus and Philemon.
