About this ebook
Grow in your knowledge of God through each New Testament book, then go on to study six aspects of Christianity essential for all believers: doctrine, prayer, eternal life, prophecy, Christian character, and Bible study.
Paul sent the Colossian and Philemon epistles to Colossae at the same time. The former is a warning against errors of doctrine and practice, the latter a private letter to a Colossian Christian. Both are worthy of study today.
Strengthen your relationship with the living God with all twenty-five books of the Teach Yourself the Bible Series. Each volume is a timeless, yet practical, study of the Word of God.

The Son of God is presented in Colossians as the Head and Cause of the whole created universe. The epistle is directed against false teaching and wages war on everything legalistic and
