"The Expositor's Bible: The Epistles of St. Paul to the Colossians and Philemon" by Alexander Maclaren is a study of religious texts that digs deep into Paul's letters to Colossae and Philemon. The book starts by looking at Paul's role as an apostle and why he was in prison in Rome. It talks about Paul's worries for the church in Colossae because some new, incorrect ideas were starting to spread. The author stresses that Christ is most important and is the reason people are saved, showing how true Christian beliefs are different from the wrong ideas that mixed Jewish rules and Eastern spiritualism. The beginning of the book is meant to get readers interested in learning more about the basics of Christianity, as explained by Paul in his letters.
