St. Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon A revised text with introductions, notes and dissertations

"St. Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon" by J. B. Lightfoot is a late 19th-century commentary that explores the letters from St. Paul. This book gives a detailed look at the historical setting and the religious importance, along with heresies talked about in the letters. Lightfoot starts by recognizing what other scholars have done, while also stating his own opinions. The author talks about how difficult it is to discuss if the letters are real and suggests that the book will explore the religious idea of Christ that's in the Colossian letter. The beginning also gives information about the Lycus Valley churches, noting how they were linked and the importance of the problems that the first Christians in these areas faced.
