	COLOSSIANS, EPISTLE TO THE in the Bible Encyclopedia - ISBE (Bible History Online)
		The external evidence for the Epistle to the Colossians, prior to the middle of the 2nd century, is rather indeterminate.
		The Christ of the Colossians is not the aeon Christ of Gnosticism.
		This element in the Colossian heresy was local, finding its antecedent in the worship of the river spirits, and in later years the same tendency gave the impulse to the worship of Michael as the patron saint of Colosse (so too Ramsay, Hastings, Dictionary of the Bible (five volumes), under the word "Colossae").

	COLOSSIANS, NRSV NEW TESTAMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Colossians follows the basic structure of a Pauline letter, beginning with a salutation (1.1-2) and an introductory thanksgiving (1.3-8) and prayer (1.9-14), and ending with greetings and instructions (4.7-18).
		Others, noting Colossians' close similarities to Philemon, think the letter was written by Paul himself while imprisoned (4.3, 10, 18) at Rome near the end of his life, and attribute the contrasts to developments in Paul's thinking and the particular situation addressed in the letter.
		Colossians also has significant similarities to Ephesians and was probably used as a model by the author of that letter (see the Introduction to Ephesians).

		Its writing was provoked by the appearance of false teachers who taught some sort of gnostic doctrine involving either the worship of angels or the worship of God in mystical communion with the angels, and ascetic and ritual observance evocative of Jewish practice.
		Colossians is similar to Ephesians in theological outlook.
		It features a hymn to Jesus as the head of the cosmos and the Church, and it emphasizes the doctrine of the mystical body of Christ.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistle to the Colossians
		Colossians, Ephesians, and Philemon were written and dispatched at one and the same time, while Philippians was composed at a somewhat different period of the captivity.
		Colossians was written as a warning against certain false teachers, about whom St. Paul had probably heard from Epaphras, his "fellow-prisoner" and the founder of the Church of the Colossians.
		They are not to listen to vain and rudimentary speculations of the false teachers, nor are they to suffer themselves to be deluded by a specious plea of humility to put angels or demons on a level with Christ, the creator of all, the master of angels, and conqueror of demons.

		The phrase in Ep Barnabas, xii, "in him are all things and unto him are all things," may be due to Colossians 1:16, but it is quite as possibly a liturgical formula.
		From the epistle it is evident that the Colossian Christians were Gentiles (Colossians 1:27) for whom, as such, the apostle feels a responsibility (Colossians 2:1 ff.).
		He sends to them Tychicus (Colossians 4:7), who is accompanied by Onesimus, one of their own community (Colossians 4:9), and urges them to be sure to read another letter which will reach them from Laodicea (Colossians 4:16).

		Paul commends the community as a whole (Col 1:3-8); this seems to indicate that, though the Colossians have been under pressure to adopt the false doctrines, they have not yet succumbed.

		Paul wrote the Letter to the Colossians while in prison, but his several imprisonments leave the specific place and date of composition uncertain.

	Saint (St) Paul’s Letter (Epistle) to the Colossians
		It would seem that he was well known to the Colossians for he is not mentioned in Ephesians, which was probably intended for a number of churches, and was written around the same time.
		Thus Paul wants the Colossians to know that he desires for them only that they enjoy the experience of the grace of God, something which does not need to be earned but is freely given..
		In Colossians 2.9 we read, ‘in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily’ where it signifies that in Him is the totality of what God is, and this leads on to the fact that we are made complete in Him.

		Probably Epaphras could not cope with the argumentation and the assumed humility of the leader of the false teachers and needed the greater wisdom of the apostle.
		In the meantime it is possible that Archippus had been left in charge of the work at Colossae, since he is mentioned both in Colossians 4:17 as one who had received a ministry in the Lord, and in Philemon 2 as a "fellow soldier" of Paul.
		The apostle warns against "philosophy and vain deceit" (2:8), which suggests a tendency on the part of some of the Colossians to be attracted by it.

		We know that Paul traveled throughout Phrygia (Acts 16:4), where Colossians is located and he was intimately acquainted with the teaching they received (Col. 2:6-7), as if he did the teaching himself.
		God commissioned Paul as a servant to present the Word of God to the Colossians, revealing to them that "Christ in you" is the mystery of the gospel.
		Paul has been struggling hard for the Colossians, the Laodiceans, and all those whom he has not personally met, so that they would be encouraged in heart and united in faith, and with full understanding so that they will know Christ.

		Perrin seeks to show that there are some concepts of christology and of the church in Colossians that might be better understood as deutero-Pauline.
		Moreover, it could be argued that the use of Colossians by the author of Ephesians supports the authenticity of Colossians.
		My position is, thus, that the authenticity of Colossians is a matter over which reasonable men may disagree.

	Colossians by Markus Barth
		The Apostle Paul's letter to the Colossians offers a valuable and intimate glimpse into the life of a fledgling Christian community as it struggled to define Christian doctrine and theology.
		Paul was prompted to write to the Colossian assembly when he heard that "false teachers" had joined the congregation and were advocating dangerous, non-Christian practices.
		In their astute and lucid commentary, eminent New Testament scholars Markus Barth and Helmut Blanke re-create the turbulent age of the birth of Christianity and examine the myriad of "outside" influences -- from cold, rational Hellenistic philosophy to exclusive, ethereal Gnostic thought -- that often threatened the evolution of Christian theology.

	An Urgent Resource for Today: The Danger of False Ideas - Colossians - Chuck Missler - Koinonia House
		The Epistle to the Colossians was written by the Apostle Paul in about A.D. 60-62, while he was imprisoned in Rome.
		The circumstance which prompted the writing of Colossians was the special heresies which arose there and which later developed into the Gnosticism of the second century.
		The Gnostics (from gnosis, "to know") declared themselves "in the know" when it came to the deep things of God; they felt they were the "spiritual aristocracy" in the church, and they boasted a pretension to special knowledge.
