Colossians and Philemon are two New Testament books that speak to concerns of great interest in today's society -- the spirit world, angels, the occult, human rights, and social discrimination. Dr. Kent brings to this study his broad knowledge of the ancient Near East, its geography, literature, and archaeology. His informal writing style makes the epistle come alive for the reader. Photographs, illustrations, and discussion questions at the end of each chapter enhance the reader's understanding of the text.
