Colossians Study

Colossians was written by Paul the Apostle from prison (house arrest) during the beginning of his first imprisonment in Rome 61 A.D.
- Paul was under arrest for two years in Rome with a 24 hour guard (Acts 28:16,30) and was then probably released due to his accusers having a weak case against him

Colossians was written to the Christians at the church in Colossae
- Paul had never been there and had not met many of the Christians there – this was written to nip a heresy in the bud
The letter is about: Christ is God. He is divine and before all of creation.

The letter was written
- To counteract some powerful and dangerous teachings
- To proclaim Jesus Christ as the source of all – the power behind all creation
- To urge Christians to reject any teaching that lowers Christ
