(Joseph Barber) 1828 1889 Lightfoot, Joseph Barber Durham, Joseph Barber Lightfoot, Lord Bishop of St. Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon A revised text with introductions, notes and dissertations Produced by KD Weeks, Colin Bell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "St. Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon" by J. B. Lightfoot is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This scholarly work delves into the epistles attributed to St. Paul, focusing on their historical context, theological implications, and the specific heresies addressed in the letters. The text likely appeals to those interested in early Christian writings and biblical studies, particularly scholars and theologians. The opening of this commentary sets the stage for an in-depth examination of the Epistles to the Colossians and Philemon. It begins with a preface where Lightfoot acknowledges the contributions of previous scholars while asserting his independent analysis. He indicates the challenges involved in discussing the letters' genuineness and hints at a thematic exploration of the theological conception of Christ as presented in the Colossian Epistle. Furthermore, the beginning provides background on the geographical and cultural context of the churches in the Lycus Valley, emphasizing their interconnectedness and the historical significance of the heresies faced by the early Christians in these communities.
