Paul for Everyone

The Prison Letters: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and
Philemon.In this commentary, Tom Wright captures the verve and sparkle
of the prison letters. Paul wrote the letters while in prison facing possible
death, but their passion and energy are undimmed. They reveal Paul's longing to
see young churches grow in faith and understanding rooted in Jesus himself, and
to see this faith worked out in practice, in one case, through the
rehabilitation of a runaway slave. Wright's stimulating comments are combined
with his own translation of the Bible text.The For Everyone Series
was created to provide guides to all the books of the New Testament. Each short
passage is followed by a highly readable discussion, with background
information, useful explanations and suggestions, and thoughts as to how the
text can be relevant to our lives today. A glossary is included at the back of
the book. The series is suitable for group study, personal study, or daily
devotions.'A rare event: a commentary that is learned without being stuffy,
accessible without being reductionist. Tom Wright joins us in our homes and
workplaces, our sanctuaries and classrooms, in genial, prayerful conversation
over this text that forms our lives, the New Testament scriptures.' -
